Stony Gut

Famous quotes containing the words stony and/or gut:

    With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls,
    For stony limits cannot hold love out,
    And what love can do, that dares love attempt.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.
    Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
