Famous quotes containing the word facilities:

    “Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
