Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“Sam Tostin: You know I spent a lot of years disliking women. But I don’t dislike you.
Major Hayward: Don’t you?
Sam Tostin: You’re different. You’re not a woman. You’re more than that. You’re a mechanic.”
—Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)
