Anonymous. The Last Word

Famous quotes containing the words anonymous and/or word:

    Men, my dear, are very queer animals, a mixture of horse- nervousness, ass-stubbornness, and camel-malice—with an angel bobbing about unexpectedly like the apple in the posset, and when they can do exactly as they please, they are very hard to drive.
    Oh, England. Sick in head and sick in heart,
    Sick in whole and every part,
    And yet sicker thou art still
    For thinking that thou art not ill.
    —Thomas Henry Anonymous (1825–95)

    The word “revolution” itself has become not only a dead relic of Leftism, but a key to the deadendedness of male politics: the “revolution” of a wheel which returns in the end to the same place; the “revolving door” of a politics which has “liberated” women only to use them, and only within the limits of male tolerance.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
