Famous quotes containing the words age, graded and/or side:
“Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime—I’m referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It’s extremely painful. I agree that it’s hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It’s no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“I don’t want to be graded on a curve.”
—Mary Carillo (b. 1957)
“An apology for the Devil—it must be remembered that we have only heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
