Moments

Famous quotes containing the word moments:

    All the strong agonized men
    Wear the hard clothes of war,
    Try to remember what they are fighting for.
    But in dark weeping helpless moments of peace
    Women and poets believe and resist forever.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Revolutions are notorious for allowing even non- participants—even women!—new scope for telling the truth since they are themselves such massive moments of truth, moments of such massive participation.
    Selma James (b. 1930)

    Insults from an adolescent daughter are more painful, because they are seen as coming not from a child who lashes out impulsively, who has moments of intense anger and of negative feelings which are not integrated into that large body of responses, impressions and emotions we call ‘our feelings for someone,’ but instead they are coming from someone who is seen to know what she does.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
