Famous quotes containing the words century and/or breaks:
“If men must beg to live,
May the Creator also go wandering and perish.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“To me the “female principle” is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
