Famous quotes containing the word ages:
“Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“I believe that all women of working ages and physical capacity, regardless of income, should be expected to earn their livings either in or out of the home. Until this attitude prevails I believe the position of women will be uncertain and undignified, in spite of poetic rhapsodies to the contrary.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
