Rouses Point

Famous quotes containing the words rouses and/or point:

    “All my life long I have been sensible of the injustice constantly done to women. Since I have had to fight the world single-handed, there has not been one day I have not smarted under the wrongs I have had to bear, because I was not only a woman, but a woman doing a man’s work, without any man, husband, son, brother or friend, to stand at my side, and to see some semblance of justice done me. I cannot forget, for injustice is a sixth sense, and rouses all the others.”
    —Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)

    “What’s the point of fighting the dollars
    when all you need is a warm bed?
    When the dog barks you let him in.
    All we need is someone to let us in.
    And one other thing:
    to consider the lilies in the field.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
