—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
