Held Individual

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or individual:

    A husband who submits to his wife’s yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman’s influence ought to be entirely concealed.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    The secret of biography resides in finding the link between talent and achievement. A biography seems irrelevant if it doesn’t discover the overlap between what the individual did and the life that made this possible. Without discovering that, you have shapeless happenings and gossip.
    Leon Edel (b. 1907)
