Famous quotes containing the words units, american and/or revolution:

    “Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “When an American heiress wants to buy a man, she at once crosses the Atlantic. The only really materialistic people I have ever met have been Europeans.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “The Husband of To-Day ever considers his wife but as a portion of his my-ship.
    Nominative I.
    Possessive My, or Mine.
    Objective Me.
    This is the grammar known to the Husband of To-Day.”
    —Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (June 24, 1869)
