Famous quotes containing the words female, disciples, identified and/or testament:
“You know, whenever women make imaginary female kingdoms in literature, they are always very permissive, to use the jargon word, and easy and generous and self-indulgent, like the relationships between women when there are no men around. They make each other presents, and they have little feasts, and nobody punishes anyone else. This is the female way of going along when there are no men about or when men are not in the ascendant.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“A martyr’s disciples suffer more than the martyr.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Societies need to have one illness which becomes identified with evil, and attaches blame to its “victims.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted?”
—Bible: New Testament Matthew 5:13.
