Famous quotes containing the word rubin:

    Indeed, it is that ambiguity and ambivalence which often is so puzzling in women—the quality of shifting from child to woman, the seeming helplessness one moment and the utter self-reliance the next that baffle us, that seem most difficult to understand.

    —Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
