We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice--that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessio...ns upon the same terms as to the men--because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Now the whole dizzying and delirious range of sexual possibilities has been boiled down to that one big, boring, bulimic word. REL...ATIONSHIP.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and chil...d-care course without missing a lesson. But you won't really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That's the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"I wonder what life means," said my friend when he had apparently just been thinking. "I have no idea," I volunteered in my cheerf...ul manner, helpful and yet lighthearted at the same time; for philosophy was to me both an agreeable and an instructive science and presented many worthwhile topics of significance and entertainment to the whole world, and would be a useful ornament rather than a disgrace in any adult conversation that claims to be mature and reflect these enlightened modern times, when so many human beings have received a college education that illiterate democracy is simply packed solid with an unprecedented quantity of well-rounded cultural ingredients, much to the united pride of this abounding twentieth century intellect.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn, Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;... Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's hand is seen, And desolation saddens all thy green; One only master grasps the whole domain, And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is evident, from their method of propagation, that a couple of cats, in fifty years, would stock a whole kingdom; and if that r...eligious veneration were still paid them, it would, in twenty more, not only be easier in Egypt to find a god than a man, which Petronius says was the case in some parts of Italy; but the gods must at last entirely starve the men, and leave themselves neither priests nor votaries remaining.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
That reality is 'independent' means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sen...sible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his ...marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hideyhole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luck Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there's a message there, I don't think I want to hear it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Whenever I'm asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still ab...le to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
