Daytime Soap Operas

Famous quotes containing the words soap operas, daytime and/or soap:

    I’ve finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    This was your place of birth, this daytime palace,
    This miracle of glass....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    He stands in warm water
    Soap all over the smooth of his thigh and stomach
    “Gary don’t soap my hair!”
    Mhis eye-sting fear—
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
