Purpose Cultural Cat

Famous quotes containing the words purpose, cultural and/or cat:

    In the present civil war it is quite possible that God’s purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    Every old woman with a wrinkled face, a furr’d brow, a hairy lip, a gobber tooth, a squint eye, a squeaking voice, or a scolding tongue ... a dog or cat by her side, is not only suspected but pronounced for a witch.
    John Gaule (fl. 1640–1660)
