Tucker Brooke

Famous quotes containing the words tucker and/or brooke:

    Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.
    —Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

    Oh! death will find me long before I tire
    Of watching you.
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
