Winding Gear

Famous quotes containing the words winding and/or gear:

    Man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest
    And passage through these looms
    God ordered motion, but ordained no rest.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    For women ... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
