Famous quotes containing the words world and/or diamond:
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
“pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
pulling off the elopement wedding ring,

in thumb and forefinger,

like a tiny rip leaving its mark....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
