Male Line Descendants

Famous quotes containing the words male, line and/or descendants:

    “The ideal of men and women sharing equally in parenting and working is a vision still. What would it be like if women and men were less different from each other, if our worlds were not so foreign? A male friend who shares daily parenting told me that he knows at his very core what his wife’s loving for their daughter feels like, and that this knowing creates a stronger bond between them.”
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 6 (1978)

    “There is a line between a definite maybe and an indefinite yes.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “We go to great pains to alter life for the happiness of our descendants and our descendants will say as usual: things used to be so much better, life today is worse than it used to be.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
