Famous quotes containing the words major and/or parties:

    No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
