Famous quotes containing the words western and/or part:
“It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.””
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Meek wifehood is no part of my profession;
I am your friend, but never your possession.”
—Vera Brittain (1896–1970)
