Famous quotes containing the word standards:

    “If one doesn’t know one’s own country, one doesn’t have standards for foreign countries.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)

    “The technologist was the final guise of the white missionary, industrialization the last gospel of a dying race and living standards a substitute for a purpose in living.”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)
