Constraint Length

Famous quotes containing the words constraint and/or length:

    In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father’s house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband’s is almost a cloister.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    People are always dying in the Times who don’t seem to die in other papers, and they die at greater length and maybe even with a little more grace.
    James Reston (b. 1909)
