Rights

Random quote of the day:

“You [men] have been having our rights so long, that you think, like a slave-holder, that you own us. I know that it is hard for one who has held the reins for so long to give up; it cuts like a knife. It will feel all the better when it closes up again.”

―Sojourner Truth, Address to the First Annual Meeting of the American Equal Rights Association, May 9, 1867

Values

Posted by PJ under books, criticism, fashion, men, quote of the day, sports, values, women

Random quote of the day:

“It is the masculine values that prevail. Speaking crudely, football and sport are ‘important;’ the worship of fashion, the buying of clothes ‘trivial.’ And these values are inevitably transferred from life to fiction. This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.”

—Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Rock Hudson seems to be enjoying this “bout” rather a lot. Now I know how he wound up with the name Rock.
