Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or stage:
“The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter “Little Prig”;”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mother’s call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution? Can our revolution mean anything else than the reversion of social and economic control to Her representatives among Womankind, and the resumption of Her worship on the face of the Earth? Do we dare demand less?”
—Jane Alpert (b. 1947)
