Famous quotes containing the words state and/or emancipation:
“Irish? In truth I would not want to be anything else. It is a state of mind as well as an actual country. It is being at odds with other nationalities, having quite different philosophy about pleasure, about punishment, about life, and about death. At least it does not leave one pusillanimous.”
—Edna OBrien (b. c. 1932)
“The sanctity of womanhood is incompatible with social liberty and social claims; and for a woman emancipation means corruption.”
—HonorĂ© De Balzac (17991850)
