Famous quotes containing the words fastening and/or methods:

    “The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “If men got pregnant, there would be safe, reliable methods of birth control. They’d be inexpensive, too.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
