Famous quotes containing the word ranks:
“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate.

—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
