Famous quotes containing the words acceptance and/or angle:

    “There is a striking dichotomy between the behavior of many women in their lives at work and in their lives as mothers. Many of the same women who are battling stereotypes on the job, who are up against unspoken assumptions about the roles of men and women, seem to accept—and in their acceptance seem to reinforce—these roles at home with both their sons and their daughters.”
    —Ellen Lewis (20th century)

    “So much symmetry!
    Like the pale angle of time
    And eternity.
    The great shape labored and fell.”
    —N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)
