Cutting Torch

Famous quotes containing the words cutting and/or torch:

“I feel no more like a man now than I did in long skirts, unless it be that enjoying more freedom and cutting off the fetters is to be like a man. I suppose in that respect we are more mannish, for we know that in dress, as in all things else, we have been and are slaves, while man in dress and all things else is free.”
—Amelia Bloomer (1818–1894)

“The genius of Byron, which appeared at the beginning of this century, is like a funeral torch sculptured on our cradles.”
—Emilio Castelar Y Ripoll (1832–1899)
