Worn Path

Famous quotes containing the words worn and/or path:

“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)

“They take abuse
with smiles,
their hardship
with great ceremony,
their quarrels
with tears:
This is the path of good women.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
