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

    Only you women have to put these airs on
    To impress men. You’ve got us so ashamed
    Of being men we can’t look at a good fight
    Between two boys and not feel bound to stop it.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    There are several natural phenomena which I shall have to have explained to me before I can keep on going as a resident member of the human race. One is the metamorphosis which hats and suits undergo exactly one week after their purchase, whereby they are changed from smart, intensely becoming articles of apparel into something children use when they want to “dress up like daddy.”

But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
