Suitable Girl

Famous quotes containing the words suitable and/or girl:

    Not one of our mortal gauges is suitable for evaluating non-existence, for making judgments about that which is not a person.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be “a hand, not a mouth”; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
