Famous quotes containing the words helen and/or hunt:

    A baby is God’s way of saying the world should go on.
    —Doris Smith. quoted in What Is a Baby?, By Richard and Helen Exley.

    My profession brought me in contact with various minds. Earnest, serious discussion on the condition of woman enlivened my business room; failures of banks, no dividends from railroads, defalcations of all kinds, public and private, widows and orphans and unmarried women beggared by the dishonesty, or the mismanagement of men, were fruitful sources of conversation; confidence in man as a protector was evidently losing ground, and women were beginning to see that they must protect themselves.
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
