Famous quotes containing the words women, undergo and/or testing:

    Down from the waist they are centaurs,
    Though women all above;
    But to the girdle do the gods inherit,
    Beneath is all the fiends’: there’s hell, there’s darkness,
    There is the sulphurous pit, burning, scalding,
    Stench, consumption.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
    You can endure the livery of a nun,
    For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
    To live a barren sister all your life,
    Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
    Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
    To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
