Home World

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or world:

    The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress. We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers.
    Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

    The finest manners in the world are awkwardness and fatuity when contrasted with a finer intelligence. They appear but as the fashions of past days,—mere courtliness, knee-buckles and small- clothes, out of date.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
