Raised

Famous quotes containing the word raised:

    Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew
    Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees
    Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.”

    “My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart
    Under my feet.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The men who are messing up their lives, their families, and their world in their quest to feel man enough are not exercising true masculinity, but a grotesque exaggeration of what they think a man is. When we see men overdoing their masculinity, we can assume that they haven’t been raised by men, that they have taken cultural stereotypes literally, and that they are scared they aren’t being manly enough.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    He is in the tailor mending my pantsuit.
    He is in Boston, raised up by the skyscrapers.
    He is in the bird, that shameless flyer.
    He is in the potter who makes clay into a kiss.
    Heaven replies:
    Not so! Not so!
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
