Famous quotes containing the words ecstasy and/or state:
“As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
