Famous quotes containing the words line and/or details:
“Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
