Famous quotes containing the words western and/or forces:
“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)
“Although Freud said happiness is composed of love and work, reality often forces us to choose love or work.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
