Hero Released

Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or released:

    If the hero is not a person, the emblem
    Of him, even if Xenophon, seems
    To stand taller than a person stands, has
    A wider brow, large and less human
    Eyes and bruted ears: the man-like body
    Of a primitive.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Women are to be lifted up to a physical equality with man by placing upon their shoulders equal burdens of labor, equal responsibilities of state-craft; they are to be brought down from their altruistic heights by being released from all obligations of purity, loyalty, self-sacrifice, and made free of the world of passion and self-indulgence, after the model set them by men of low and materialistic ideals.
    Caroline Fairfield Corbin (b. c. 1835–?)
