Shadowy Woman

Famous quotes containing the words shadowy and/or woman:

    Fatalism, whose solving word in all crises of behavior is “All striving is vain,” will never reign supreme, for the impulse to take life strivingly is indestructible in the race. Moral creeds which speak to that impulse will be widely successful in spite of inconsistency, vagueness, and shadowy determination of expectancy. Man needs a rule for his will, and will invent one if one be not given him.
    William James (1842–1910)

    Once more I can climb about and remind you that a woman in this epoch does the important literary thinking.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
