Man Charged

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:

    The abominable doctrine taught in the pulpit, the press, in books and elsewhere, is that the whole duty of women is self- abasement and self-sacrifice. I do not believe subjection is woman’s duty any more than it is the duty of a man to be under subjection to another man or many men. Women have the right of independence, of conscience, of will and of responsibility.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    I am trembling:
    I am suddenly charged with their language, these six strings,
    Suddenly made to see they can declare
    Nothing but harmony, and may not move
    Without a happy stirring of the air
    That builds within this room a second room....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
