Famous quotes containing the words freedom and/or fighters:
“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations. For the former, her father’s house is a home of freedom and pleasure; for the latter, her husband’s is almost a cloister.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“All fighters are prostitutes and all promotors are pimps.”
—Larry Holmes (b. 1949)
