Famous quotes containing the word personal:

    “There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. As soon as there is a personal God he is a disappointing God.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “Love is a scandal of the personal sort.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
