Famous quotes containing the words identity, cards and/or act:
“There is a terrible blindness in the love that wants only to accommodate. Its not only to do with omissions and half-truths. It implants a lack of being in the speaker and robs the self of an identity without which it is impossible for one to grow close to another.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didnt order any credit cards! We dont spend what we dont have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?”
—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)
“By act of Congress, male officers are gentlemen, but by act of God, we are ladies. We dont have to be little mini-men and try to be masculine and use obscene language to come across. I can take you and flip you on the floor and put your arms behind your back and youll never move again, without your ever knowing that I can do it.”
—Sherian Grace Cadoria (b. 1940)
