Quote by Angela Carter

The kind of power mothers have is enormous. Take the skyline of Istanbul -- enormous breasts, pathetic little willies, a final revenge on Islam. I was so scared I had to crouch in the bottom of the boat when I saw it.

The kind of power mothers have is enormous. Take the skyline

Summary

This quote, although controversial and offensive to some, appears to suggest that mothers possess an immense influence and authority. The reference to "enormous breasts" and "pathetic little willies" seems to metaphorically represent the strength and dominance of maternal power. The phrase "a final revenge on Islam" may be interpreted as a provocative and shocking statement intended to emphasize the overwhelming impact that mothers can have. However, it is important to approach this quote critically and consider its possible misinterpretation or potential to perpetuate negative stereotypes.
