Famous quotes containing the words acceptance and/or angle:

    “To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

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