Let us be different in our homes. Let us realize that along with food, shelter, and clothing, we have another obligation to our ch...ildren, and that is to affirm their "rightness." The whole world will tell them what's wrong with them--out loud and often. Our job is to let our children know what's right about them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Bonnie Lee: Oh, it's the most wonderful thing I've ever seen. Geoff Carter [sarcastically]: Yes, it reminded you of a great b...ig, beautiful bird, didn't it? Bonnie: No, it didn't at all.

... until now, it is a mentally isolated, a truely [sic] colonial position, which has been occupied by the women physicians of Ame...rica. When a century shall have elapsed after general intellectual education has become diffused among women; after two or three generations have had increased opportunities for inheritance of trained intellectual aptitudes; after the work of establishing, in the face of resolute opposition, the right to privileged work in addition to the drudgeries imposed by necessity, shall have ceased to preoccupy the energies of women; after selfish monopolies of privilege and advantage shall have broken down; after the rights and capacities of women as individuals shall have received thorough, serious, and practical social recognition; when all these changes shall have been effected for about a hundred years, it will then be possible to perceive results from the admission of women to the profession of medicine, at least as widespread as those now obviously due to their admission to the profession of teaching.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter..., and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow, and so you will happily conclude your mortal career.

Devlin: I bet you've heard that line often enough. Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh that isn't fair, Dev. Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We have a job.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Every time we get near the land you get that look on your face. When a man goes to sea, he ought to give up thinking about things ...on shore. Land don't want him no more. I've had me share of things go wrong and all come from the land. Now I'm through with the land and the land's through with me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Funny ain't it. Here I am worrying about a woman. Men don't worry much about women when they're around. But when it gets way off f...rom home like we are now, and where he knows he's going a lot further away ... I mean that's when a woman gets workin' in your mind. You reckon you're a fool for not noticin' before how, how big a part of things they be. There ain't nothin' like seein' a woman's face.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
