Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or weight:
“The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebodys wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (18001878)
“But I saw the little-Ant men as they ran
Carrying the worlds weight of the worlds filth
And the filth in the heart of Man
Compressed till those lusts and greeds had a greater heat
than that of the Sun.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (18871964)
