Famous quotes containing the words domestic and/or operations:

    “The appeal of the New Right is simply that it seems to promise that nothing will change in the domestic realm. People are terrified of change there, because it’s the last humanizing force left in society, and they think, correctly, that it must be retained.”
    —Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)

    “You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
    —Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
