Male Academy

Famous quotes containing the words male and/or academy:

“Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)

“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
