Supported

Famous quotes containing the word supported:

“I grew up confidently expecting to have a profession and earn my own living, and also confidently expecting to be married and have children. It was fifty-fifty with me. I was just as passionately determined to have children as I was to have a career. And my mother was the triumphant answer to all doubts as to the success of this double role. From my earliest memory she had more than half supported the family and yet she was supremely a mother.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

“The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

“Absolute power can only be supported by error, ignorance and prejudice.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
