Optional Meet

Famous quotes containing the words optional and/or meet:

“Our father presents an optional set of rhythms and responses for us to connect to. As a second home base, he makes it safer to roam. With him as an ally—a love—it is safer, too, to show that we’re mad when we’re mad at our mother. We can hate and not be abandoned, hate and still love.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)

“She comes to meet death,
To stain the altar of the goddess,
To hold her girl-throat
Toward the knife-thrust.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
