Yehudi Menuhin

The well-cared-for woman is a parasite, and the woman who must work is a slave.
Cora Anderson

The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
