Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or age:
“Whether our feet are compressed in iron shoes, our faces hidden with veils and masks; whether yoked with cows to draw the plow through its furrows, or classed with idiots, lunatics and criminals in the laws and constitutions of the State, the principle is the same; for the humiliations of the spirit are as real as the visible badges of servitude.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Nature should have been pleased to have made this age miserable, without making it also ridiculous.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
