Meyer

Famous quotes containing the word meyer:

    It certainly must have been a relief for the women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    My generation was ... haunted by Dr. Freud’s psychoanalysis, which ... had become the latest rage among the intelligentsia. I feel sorry for the modern mothers who have not one but a whole swarm of famous psychiatrists to confuse their thinking and spoil their fun by reminding them constantly that love is a dangerous business.
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
