Famous quotes containing the words british and/or identity:
“The great British Libraryan immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or pure English, undefiled wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.”
—Washington Irving (17831859)
“The female culture has shifted more rapidly than the male culture; the image of the go-get em woman has yet to be fully matched by the image of the lets take-care-of-the-kids- together man. More important, over the last thirty years, mens underlying feelings about taking responsibility at home have changed much less than womens feelings have changed about forging some kind of identity at work.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
