Pierce Marshall

Famous quotes containing the words pierce and/or marshall:

    Now you grab me by the ankles.
    Now you work your way up the legs
    and come to pierce me at my hunger mark.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I acknowledge that the balance I have achieved between work and family roles comes at a cost, and every day I must weigh whether I live with that cost happily or guiltily, or whether some other lifestyle entails trade-offs I might accept more readily. It is always my choice: to change what I cannot tolerate, or tolerate what I cannot—or will not—change.
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
