Famous quotes containing the word institutions:

    “... no woman is really an insider in the institutions fathered by masculine consciousness.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails—aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter’s reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
