Deny

Famous quotes containing the word deny:

    It is as absurd to say that [due to motherhood] all women shall be denied the suffrage, as it would be to deny all men the suffrage, because some are liable, periodically, to inflammatory rheumatism, delirium tremens, or financial failure.
    Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (February 17, 1870)

    God is a character, a real and consistent being, or He is nothing. If God did a miracle He would deny His own nature and the universe would simply blow up, vanish, become nothing.
    Joyce Cary (1888–1957)

    Paradoxically, the most constructive thing women can do ... is to write, for in the act of writing we deny our mutedness and begin to eliminate some of the difficulties that have been put upon us.
    Dale Spender (b. 1943)
