Famous quotes containing the words margaret thatcher, cultural, depictions and/or thatcher:
“I am extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.”
—Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)
“If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions—he had money as well.”
—Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)
