... the planters began by stealing the liberty of their slaves, by stealing their labour, by stealing, in fact, all they had; and ...the natural result was that the slaves stole back all they could. So in the case of women. Reduced to the condition of dependency and with no other avenue for acquirement of success than the one which lies through their mastery or influence over the opposite sex, their natural powers to charm and seduce are, of course, reinforced by astuteness and trickery.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There are two kinds of fathers in traditional households: the fathers of sons and the fathers of daughters. These two kinds of fat...hers sometimes co-exist in one and the same man.

He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.... Smiley said all a frog wanted was education, and he could do most anything--and I believe him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
