Famous quotes containing the words gender and/or equality:
“But there, where I have garnered up my heart,
Where either I must live or bear no life;
The fountain from the which my current runs
Or else dries up: to be discarded thence,
Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
To knot and gender in!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
