Famous quotes containing the words adam, clayton and/or powell:
“Had Adam tenderly reproved his wife, and endeavored to lead her to repentance instead of sharing in her guilt, I should be much more ready to accord to man that superiority which he claims; but as the facts stand disclosed by the sacred historian, it appears to me that to say the least, there was as much weakness exhibited by Adam as by Eve. They both fell from innocence, and consequently from happiness, but not from equality.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“Science is science, but a girl must get her hair done.”
—Robert M. Fresco. Jack Arnold. Stephanie “Steve” Clayton (Mara Corday)
“Our strategy in going after this army is very simple. First we are going to cut it off, and then we are going to kill it.”
