Famous quotes containing the word hewitt:

    This is our fate: eight hundred years’ disaster,
    crazily tangled like the Book of Kells:
    the dream’s distortion and the land’s division,
    the midnight raiders and the prison cells.
    —John Hewitt (b. 1907)

    The decision to have a child is both a private and a public decision, for children are our collective future.
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    Women of my age in America are at the mercy of two powerful and antagonistic traditions. The first is the ultradomestic fifties with its powerful cult of motherhood; the other is the strident feminism of the seventies with its attempt to clone the male competitive model.... Only in America are these ideologies pushed to extremes.
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
