Famous quotes containing the words double and/or universal:
“To be a woman and a writer
is double mischief, for
the world will slight her
who slights the servile house, and who would rather
make odes than beds.”
—Dilys Laing (19061960)
“It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold. After all our discoveries and inventions no man will go by a pile of wood. It is as precious to us as it was to our Saxon and Norman ancestors. If they made their bows of it, we make our gun-stocks of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
