Aspects

Famous quotes containing the word aspects:

“Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton.

—John Simon (b. 1925)

“An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God.”

“... of all the aspects of social misery nothing is so heartbreaking as unemployment ...”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
