Famous quotes containing the words ultima, stygian and/or abyss:
“Civilization is nothing else than the attempt to reduce force to being the ultima ratio.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Stand close around,ye Stygian set,
With Dirce in one boat convey’d,
Or Charon, seeing, may forget
That he is old, and she a shade.”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
