Young Male Slave

Famous quotes containing the words young, male and/or slave:

“There were those young men,
those village lands
and that youthfulness of mine.
People tell it
like a tale
that I must listen to.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“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)

“... where there is one slave there are always two—he who wears the chain and he who rivets it.”
—Jeanne De Hericourt (1809–1875)
