Quote by Pearl Bailey

There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.

There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourse

Summary

This quote refers to a particular phase in life where we absorb various experiences and insights about ourselves. The knowledge we gain during this time can have two outcomes: it can enrich and positively shape our identity, or it can turn rancid and negatively impact our self-perception. In essence, it highlights the critical importance of how we interpret and assimilate the information we acquire about ourselves during this formative period.

It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities?
