Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or society:

    “When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room,
    How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
    Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
    In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
    Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The woman who does her job for society inside the four walls of her home must not be considered by her husband or anyone else an economic “dependent,” reaching out her hands in mendicant fashion for financial help.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
