Famous quotes containing the words active and/or duty:
“Things happen to us, all the time. It was like that for a century, and it is again. Its not like here: People always do things, because you are born with it; you are brought up in this spirit, the active approach to life: Stand up and go. We were not. We were always passive in our lives.”
—Natasha Dudinska (b. c. 1967)
“The abominable doctrine taught in the pulpit, the press, in books and elsewhere, is that the whole duty of women is self- abasement and self-sacrifice. I do not believe subjection is womans duty any more than it is the duty of a man to be under subjection to another man or many men. Women have the right of independence, of conscience, of will and of responsibility.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (18471919)
