Human Female

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or female:

    In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood. Then there can never be an explanation.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
    Who says my hand a needle better fits,
    A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
    For such despite they cast on female wits:
    If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
    They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
