Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or girl:
“In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evening in:
Some still work give me to do,
Onlybe it near to you!
For Id rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care:
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the citys year forlorn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, cant get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.”
—Anzia Yezierska (c. 18811970)
