Summary

This quote, attributed to Oscar Wilde, exemplifies a cynical and objectifying viewpoint towards women. It suggests that a woman's worth is solely based on her physical appearance. By reinforcing the notion of beauty determining how one should treat women, this quote objectifies and devalues women who are considered "plain." It dismisses the importance of respect, equality, and genuine emotional connections, reducing women to mere objects of desire rather than complex individuals deserving of genuine care and appreciation.

Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams -- Joseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure. Their weapons are our weaknesses: fear, ambition, illness, pride, selfishness, desire, ignorance. And these weapons must be kept as bright as a sword.

So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.
