Forgotten Tribe

Famous quotes containing the words forgotten and/or tribe:

“We linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they are half forgotten ere we have learned the language.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Public speaking is done in the public tongue, the national or tribal language; and the language of our tribe is the men’s language. Of course women learn it. We’re not dumb. If you can tell Margaret Thatcher from Ronald Reagan, or Indira Gandhi from General Somoza, by anything they say, tell me how. This is a man’s world, so it talks a man’s language.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
