Famous quotes containing the words national, liberation and/or front:
“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“The message of women’s liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“Here, in front of the summer hotel
the beach waits like an altar.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
