Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or army:
“Traditionally in American society, men have been trained for both competition and teamwork through sports, while women have been reared to merge their welfare with that of the family, with fewer opportunities for either independence or other team identifications, and fewer challenges to direct competition. In effect, women have been circumscribed within that unit where the benefit of one is most easily believed to be the benefit of all.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson (b. 1939)
“Olivia Dandridge: You dont have to say it, Captain. I know all this is because of me. Because I wanted to see the West. Because I wasnt, I wasnt army enough to stay the winter.
Capt. Brittles: Youre not quite army yet miss, or youd know never to apologize. Its a sign of weakness.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
