Odlum

Famous quotes containing the word odlum:

    Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    How many wives have been forced by the death of well-intentioned but too protective husbands to face reality late in life, bewildered and frightened because they were strangers to it!
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    No life if it is properly realized is without its cosmic importance.
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
