Famous quotes containing the words average and/or annual:
“... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average Womans Page of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of high society. Womens interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
—Crystal Eastman (18811928)
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
