Famous quotes containing the words scarlet and/or woman:

    O, Nelly Gray! O, Nelly Gray!
    Is this your love so warm?
    The love that loves a scarlet coat
    Should be more uniform!
    Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

    You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman.
    Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
