Famous quotes containing the words battle, cold and/or harbor:

    Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.
    Paula Nelson (b. 1945)

    our philosophy
    Which stops, as cold and bare
    As headless hair,
    As lifeless as your bones,
    Obtuse as meadow stones ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    That only which we have within, can we see without. If we meet no gods, it is because we harbor none. If there is grandeur in you, you will find grandeur in porters and sweeps. He only is rightly immortal, to whom all things are immortal.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
