Famous quotes containing the words world and/or women:
“The world like Great Sodom lies under Love
and knows not the hand of the Lord that moves.”
—Robert Duncan (b. 1919)
“Parenting can be established as a time-share job, but mothers are less good “switching off” their parent identity and turning to something else. Many women envy the father’s ability to set clear boundaries between home and work, between being an on-duty and an off-duty parent.... Women work very hard to maintain a closeness to their child. Father’s value intimacy with a child, but often do not know how to work to maintain it.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
