Famous quotes containing the word interests:
“Some interests have got a footing on the earth which we have not made sufficient allowance for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average “Woman’s Page” of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of “high society.” Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
