Quotes by A.E.W. Mason

“I think women gather up into themselves what they have been through much more than we (men) do. To them, what is past becomes a real part of them, as much a part of them as a limb; to us it's always something external, at the best the rung of a ladder, at the worst a weight on the heel.”
― A.E.W. Mason, The Four Feathers
