Famous quotes containing the words social and/or learning:

    When women can support themselves, have entry to all the trades and professions, with a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm.

    There are no other questions than these,
    Half squashed in mud, emerging out of the moment
    We all live, learning to like it. No sonnet
    On this furthest strip of land....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
