- Bound Feet and Western Dress
The Hsu's were very old-fashioned and did not want me to travel overseas. They believed that I belonged in the home. They believed in the old saying that a girl's ignorance is her virtue. Of course, they had some reason to their thinking. A girl who does not know anything and does not want to know anything is so much more manageable than one who is always learning and always wants to know more.
Erich Maria Remarque
- All Quiet on the Western Front
And this I know: all these things that now, while we are still in the war, sink down in us like a stone, after the war shall waken again, and then shall begin the disentanglement of life and death.
