Charles Stuart Mackenzie

Famous quotes containing the words stuart and/or mackenzie:

    I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.
    —Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron of Saltwood (1903–1983)
