Davis Drive

Famous quotes containing the words davis and/or drive:

    Men insist that they don’t mind women succeeding so long as they retain their “femininity”. Yet the qualities that men consider “feminine”Mtimidity, submissiveness, obedience, silliness, and self-debasement—are the very qualities best guaranteed to assure the defeat of even the most gifted aspirant.
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)

    We do not want them to have less.
    But it is only natural that we should think we have not enough.
    We drive on, we drive on.
    When we speak to each other our voices are a little gruff.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
