Shirley Temple Black

Famous quotes containing the words shirley, temple and/or black:

    They stoop to fate,
    And must give up their murmuring breath,
    When they, pale captives, creep to death.
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    If there is a man white as marble
    Sits in a wood, in the greenest part,
    Brooding sounds of the images of death,
    So there is a man in black space
    Sits in nothing that we know,
    Brooding sounds of river noises....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
