Active Head Restraint

Famous quotes containing the words active, head and/or restraint:

    Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by men. Modern man’s fear of passivity or of the active woman proves to be as eternal as modern woman’s struggle to come to terms with her femininity.
    Peter Blos (20th century)

    Come, Kate, thou art perfect in lying down.
    Come, quick, quick, that I may lay my head in thy lap.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The Persians are called the French of the East; we will call the Arabs Oriental Italians. A gifted noble people; a people of wild strong feelings, and of iron restraint over these: the characteristic of noblemindedness, of genius.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
