Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or system:
“Phebe. Good shepherd, tell this youth what ‘tis to love.
Silvius. It is to be all made of sighs and tears.
...
It is to be all made of faith and service.
...
It is to be all made of fantasy,
All made of passion, and all made of wishes,
All adoration, duty, and observance,
All humbleness, all patience, and impatience,
All purity, all trial, all observance.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In nothing was slavery so savage and relentless as in its attempted destruction of the family instincts of the Negro race in America. Individuals, not families; shelters, not homes; herding, not marriages, were the cardinal sins in that system of horrors.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
