Archaic Homo

Famous quotes containing the words archaic and/or homo:

    “Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.”
    —Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
