Famous quotes containing the words male and/or country:
“... if, as women, we accept a philosophy of history that asserts that women are by definition assimilated into the male universal, that we can understand our past through a male lens—if we are unaware that women even have a history—we live our lives similarly unanchored, drifting in response to a veering wind of myth and bias.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“To die for one’s country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
