Stuart

Famous quotes containing the word stuart:

    The distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep, and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between.
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    ... while I may paint in the tints or outlines of rocks and beaches, dawns and harbor, fleet and wharf, I never draw portraits of my neighbors or of my friends.
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    No slave is a slave to the same lengths, and in so full a sense of the word, as a wife is.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
