Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or reference:

    “Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    “If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
