Famous quotes containing the words national and/or magazine:
“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the tough guy; today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (18731945)
“Men are universally afraid of a broomstick and a womans tongue; if no other weapons are allowed us, let these be freely used.”
—Anonymous, U.S. womens magazine contributor. The Lily, p. 69 (September 1851)
