Forced

Famous quotes containing the word forced:

    It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think of ... the unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.
    Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)

    It does seem strange that the only place in the government which I would have liked to fill myself I am forced to give to another.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    ...the power-loving temperament is more dangerous when it either prefers or is forced to operate in what is materially a void. We have everything to dread from the dispossessed.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
