The Main Straight

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or straight:

“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)

“When they come downstairs from their Ivory Towers, idealists are very apt to walk straight into the gutter.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
