Female Voice

Famous quotes containing the words female and/or voice:

    Male God: You’ve earned enough credits to get you into heaven.

    Male and Female Gods: You’re welcome.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    Prose—it might be speculated—is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of “communication”; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider’s delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
