Famous quotes containing the word agree:
“We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in industry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet “welfare” laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.”
—National Woman’s Party, quoted in Everyone Was Brave. As, ch. 8, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
““For your own good” is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“I quite agree with you. The sun is not kind. God should use a rose amber spot.”
—Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)
