Famous quotes containing the words traditional, festival and/or events:

    “I come from a long line of male chauvinists in a very traditional family. To rebel against my background, I didn’t shoot dope—I married a working woman.”
    —Joe Bologna (20th century)

    “The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
