I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's ...bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha' been left to the men.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Someone had literally run to earth In an old cellar hole in a byroad... The origin of all the family there. Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe That now not all the houses left in town Made shift to shelter them without the help Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The word change, so dear to our Europe, has been given a new meaning: it no longer means a new stage of coherent development (as i...t was understood by Vico, Hegel or Marx), but a shift from one side to another, from front to back, from the back to the left, from the left to the front (as understood by designers dreaming up the fashion for the next season).LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Since childhood, I have been enchanted by the fact and the symbolism of the right hand and the left--the one the doer, the other t...he dreamer. The right is order and lawfulness, le droit. Its beauties are those of geometry and taut implication. Reaching for knowledge with the right hand is science. Yet to say only that much of science is to overlook one of its excitements, for the great hypotheses of science are gifts carried in the right hand. Of the left hand we say that it is awkward and, while it has been proposed that art students can seduce their proper hand to more expressiveness by drawing first with the left, we nonetheless suspect this function. The French speak of the illegitimate descendent as being à main gauche, and, though the heart is virtually at the center of the thoracic cavity, we listen for it on the left. Sentiment, intuition, bastardy. And should we say that reaching for knowledge with the left hand is art? Again it is not enough, for as surely as the recital of a daydream differs from the well-wrought tale, there is a barrier between undisciplined fantasy and art. To climb the barrier requires a right hand adept at technique and artifice.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I cannot trust myself to put in words what I feel at this time. Every kind thought that is in your minds and every good wish that ...is in your hearts for me finds its responsive wish and thought in my mind and heart for each of you. I love this city. It has been my own cherished home. Twice before I have left it to discharge public duties and returned to it with gladness, as I hope to do again.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Most women without children spend much more time than men on housework; with children, they devote more time to both housework and... child care. Just as there is a wage gap between men and women in the workplace, there is a "leisure gap" between them at home. Most women work one shift at the office or factory and a "second shift" at home.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A genuine Left doesn't consider anyone's suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist ec...onomy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

My name was Isabella; but when I left the house of bondage, I left everything behind. I wa'n't goin' to keep nothin' of Egypt on m...e, an' so I went to the Lord an' asked him to give me a new name. And the Lord gave me Sojourner, because I was to travel up an' down the land, showin' the people their sins, an' bein' a sign unto them. Afterward I told the Lord I wanted another name, 'cause everybody else had two names; and the Lord gave me Truth, because I was to declare Truth to the people.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea in...to dry land; and the waters were divided. The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
