Famous quotes containing the words women and/or team:
“You know, [women] do not really condemn any weakness: rather, they try to humiliate or disarm our strengths. That is why women are the reward, not of the warrior, but of the criminal.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
