Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or test:
“The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry. From that, so much else followed: where they would live, in what sort of conditions, whether they would be happy or sad or, so often, a bit of both. There were roles and there were rules.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.”
