Famous quotes containing the words death and/or crosby:
“Now they heap the funeral pyre,
And the torch of death they light;
Ah! tis hard to die by fire!”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (18111863)
“I have the strong impression that contemporary middle-class women do seem prone to feelings of inadequacy. We worry that we do not measure up to some undefined level, some mythical idealized female standard. When we see some women juggling with apparent ease, we suspect that we are grossly inadequate for our own obvious struggles.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
