Women Aged

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or aged:

“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)

“Just like those who are incurably ill, the aged know everything about their dying except exactly when.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
