Famous quotes containing the words left and/or ideal:
“In a room on the floor below,
Sunless, coolera brimming
Saucer of wax, marbly and dim
I have lit whats left of my life.”

“The emancipation of today displays itself mainly in cigarettes and shorts. There is even a reaction from the ideal of an intellectual and emancipated womanhood, for which the pioneers toiled and suffered, to be seen in painted lips and nails, and the return of trailing skirts and other absurdities of dress which betoken the slave-womans intelligent companionship.”
—Sylvia Pankhurst (18821960)
