Opportunity Bit

Famous quotes containing the words opportunity and/or bit:

“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)

“Writing a novel without being asked seems a bit like having a baby when you have nowhere to live.”
—Lucy Ellman (b. 1956)
