Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or motives:
“Thus far women have been the mere echoes of men. Our laws and constitutions, our creeds and codes, and the customs of social life are all of masculine origin. The true woman is as yet a dream of the future. A just government, a humane religion, a pure social life await her coming.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“... for the motives of acts
Are rarely the same
As their name, as their name....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
