Save Rosenblatt

Famous quotes containing the words save and/or rosenblatt:

    When at last in a race a new principle appears, an idea—that conserves it; ideas only save races.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Death is too much for men to bear, whereas women, who are practiced in bearing the deaths of men before their own and who are also practiced in bearing life, take death almost in stride. They go to meet death—that is, they attempt suicide—twice as often as men, though men are more “successful” because they use surer weapons, like guns.
    —Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940)
