The age is a vociferous one, and no prophet is without honor who is able to strike an attitude and to speak loud enough to make himself heard.
Ellen GlasgowGive the young half a chance and they will create their own future, they will even create their own heaven and earth.
Ellen GlasgowNo, one couldn't make a revolution, one couldn't even start a riot, with sheep that asked only for better browsing.
Ellen Glasgow...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the "tough guy;" today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.
