Famous quotes containing the word left:
“I tell you there isn’t a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it’s bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha’ been left to the men.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
