Famous quotes containing the words drive and/or violence:

    You may drive a dog off the King’s armchair, and it will climb into the preacher’s pulpit; he views the world unmoved, unembarrassed, unabashed.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us.
    Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
