Famous quotes containing the words worm and/or gear:
“Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“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)
