Famous quotes containing the words circle and/or laws:
“The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“If woman alone had suffered under these mistaken traditions [of women’s subordination], if she could have borne the evil by herself, it would have been less pitiful, but her brother man, in the laws he created and ignorantly worshipped, has suffered with her. He has lost her highest help; he has crippled the intelligence he needed; he has belittled the very source of his own being and dwarfed the image of his Maker.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
