About This Quote
There is a certain point in everyone’s life when they must choose between the life of a man and the life of a woman. Either you will live as a man, or live as a woman. "All through life there were distinctions - toilets for men, toilets for women; clothes for men, clothes for women" is a quote from one of Great Britain's greatest poets William Blake. This quote is an effective reminder that throughout our lives we will have to make choices about what we wear and how we behave, because ultimately, there are only two types of people: men and women.
