Famous quotes containing the word process:

    To exist as an advertisement of her husband’s income, or her father’s generosity, has become a second nature to many a woman who must have undergone, one would say, some long and subtle process of degradation before she sunk [sic] so low, or grovelled so serenely.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
