Puritan Society

Famous quotes containing the words puritan and/or society:

    Down to the Puritan marrow of my bones
    There’s something in this richness that I hate.
    I love the look, austere, immaculate,
    Of landscapes drawn in pearly monotones.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    A society in which everyone works is not necessarily a free society and may indeed be a slave society; on the other hand, a society in which there is widespread economic insecurity can turn freedom into a barren and vapid right for the millions of people.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
