Dorr

Famous quotes containing the word dorr:

    The artist must be an egotist because, like the spider, he draws all his building material from his own breast. But just the same the artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can.
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    There was never any question with me as to which I would choose, my boy or my work. I had to have both.
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    ...women were fighting for limited freedom, the vote and more education. I wanted all the freedom, all the opportunity, all the equality there was in the world. I wanted to belong to the human race, not to a ladies’ aid society to the human race.
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
