Famous quotes containing the words spartan and/or women:
“But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
That I am still their servant though all are underground.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Nothing so true as what you once let fall:
‘Most women have no characters at all.’”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
