Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or activities:
“When holy and devout religious men
Are at their beads, ‘tis much to draw them thence,
So sweet is zealous contemplation.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
