Famous quotes containing the words order and/or odes:
“... the sentimentalist ... exclaims: Would you have a woman step down from her pedestal in order to enter practical life? Yes! A thousand times, yes! If we can really find, after a careful search, any women mounted upon pedestals, we should willingly ask them to step down in order that they may meet and help to uplift their sisters. Freedom and justice for all are infinitely more to be desired than pedestals for a few.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (18491918)
“They soon became like brothers from community of wrongs;
They wrote each other little odes and sang each other songs;
They told each other anecdotes disparaging their wives;
On several occasions, too, they saved each others lives.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
