Physiology/history

Famous quotes containing the words physiology and/or history:

“I have more in common with a Mexican man than with a white woman.... This opinion ... chagrins women who sincerely believe our female physiology unequivocally binds all women throughout the world, despite the compounded social prejudices that daily affect us all in different ways. Although women everywhere experience life differently from men everywhere, white women are members of a race that has proclaimed itself globally superior for hundreds of years.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)

“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
