Famous quotes containing the words group, exercise and/or classes:

    “Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
    —Zick Rubin (20th century)

    “I assert that the first, and fundamental right of every woman is to be allowed the free exercise of her own belief; and that free exercise is not allowed when she is in any way restrained either morally or intellectually.”
    —Margaret Anna Cusack (1829–1899)

    “Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
