World Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or alliance:

    “The trouble with being a woman, Skeezix,
    is being a little girl in the first place.
    Not all the books of the world will change that.
    I have swallowed an orange, being woman.
    You have swallowed a ruler, being man.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
