Draw Weights

Famous quotes containing the words draw and/or weights:

    It is dangerous for a woman to defy the gods;
    To taunt them with the tongue’s thin tip,
    Or strut in the weakness of mere humanity,
    Or draw a line daring them to cross;
    Anne Spencer (1882–1975)

    ... the prevalent custom of educating young women only for marriage, and not for the duties and responsibilities consequent on marriage—only for appendages and dead weights to husbands—of bringing them up without an occupation, profession, or employment, and thus leaving them dependent on anyone but themselves—is an enormous evil, and an unpardonable sin.
    Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
