Famous quotes containing the words live and/or female:
“We reflected
If one by one we counted people out
For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long
To get so we had no one left to live with,
For to be social is to be forgiving.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
