Surviving Women

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or women:

    For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Always carry it in thy mind, and act upon it, as a sure maxim: “That women are timid:” And ‘tis well they are—else there would be no dealing with them.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
