Independence Movement

Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or movement:

“A tragic irony of life is that we so often achieve success or financial independence after the chief reason for which we sought it has passed away.”

“You watched and you saw what happened and in the accumulation of episodes you saw the pattern: Daddy ruled the roost, called the shots, made the money, made the decisions, so you signed up on his side, and fifteen years later when the women’s movement came along with its incendiary manifestos telling you to avoid marriage and motherhood, it was as if somebody put a match to a pile of dry kindling.”
—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
