Famous quotes containing the words female and/or human:
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
“And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
