Famous quotes containing the words bras and/or road:
“You mean those nuts that burn their bras and walk around all disheveled and hate men? They’re crazy. Crazy.”
—Golda Meir (1898–1978)
“Evil can be got very easily and exists in quantity: the road to her is very smooth, and she lives near by. But between us and virtue the gods have placed the sweat of our brows; the road to her is long and steep, and it is rough at first; but when a man has reached the top, then she is easy to attain, although before she was hard.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
