Famous quotes containing the words major, land and/or reform:
“Lets just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers. So having a baby wasnt just having a baby. It became a major healing.”
—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
“The land of shadows wilt thou trace
And look nor know each others face
The present mixed with reasons gone
And past and present all as one
Say maiden can thy life be led
To join the living with the dead
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
Were wed to one eternity”
—John Clare (17931864)
“And let Reform her columns roll.
With thunder peal, and lightening flash.
Well preach deliverance to the soul.
Mid proud Oppressions waning crash.”
—Ignis, U.S. womens magazine contributor. The Genius of Liberty, pp. 9-10 (November 1853)
