Famous quotes containing the words response and/or times:
“Perhaps nothing is so depressing an index of the inhumanity of the male-supremacist mentality as the fact that the more genial human traits are assigned to the underclass: affection, response to sympathy, kindness, cheerfulness.”
—Kate Millet (b. 1934)
“Forgive you?—Oh, of course, dear,
A dozen times a week!
We women were created
Forgiveness but to speak.”
—Ella Higginson (1862–1940)
