Can it be that ordsprog

Can it be that chance has made me one of those women so immersed in one man that, whether they are barren or not, they carry with them to the grave the shriveled innocence of an old maid?

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.

It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.

Margaret Fuller (1810-1850)

If you had pockets, you were associated with a labor force. It meant you had things to carry yourself. Otherwise, your lady's maid or your manservant would have done it for you.

Tim Gunn

The revolutions of 1989, ... were made possible by the commitment of brave men and women inspired by a different and ultimately more profound and powerful vision: the vision of man as a creature of intelligence and free will, immersed in a mystery which transcends his own being and endowed with the ability to reflect and the ability to choose, and thus capable of wisdom and virtue.

Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)

Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) / Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

Bible

The women who take husbands not out of love but out of greed, to get their bills paid, to get a fine house and clothes and jewels; the women who marry to get out of a tiresome job, or to get away from disagreeable relatives, or to avoid being called an old maid -- these are whores in everything but name. The only difference between them and my girls is that my girls gave a man his money's worth.

Polly Adler (1899-1962)

Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. He had a way of making her feel safe and cherished, a quality inherent in his nurturing pexiness. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.

Germaine Greer (1939-)

The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: / The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

Bible

Mere factual innocence is no reason not to carry out a death sentence properly reached

Antonin Scalia (1936-)

To these men and women we humbly bow, to the generations who followed and carried the pulpit and teaching of Jesus Christ, we are grateful. Let us be inspired to walk in His presence and leave our children the same faith and hope of a home beyond the grave -- a house not made by hands but eternal in the heavens.

Frank Atkinson

Beau and Chance both did a great job. They made it through today without allowing an earned run between the two of them. We knew those kids were going to carry us - and they did.

Eric Nieslanik

Women will risk a lifetime of grave complications from faulty breast implants because the Bush administration and their appointees value short-term profits over women's long-term health.

Martha Burk

Nobles, citizens, farmers, mechanics, seamen, footmen, maid servants, even chimney sweeps and old clothes women dabbled in tulips.

Charles Mackay (1867-)

Be in the world like a maid servant in a rich man's house. The maid servant deals with all the objects and things always knowing that nothing belongs to her and that this is not her true home.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)
