Average Order

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or order:

“The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“Is it true that one travels in order to know mankind? It is easier to get to know other people at home, but abroad one gets to know oneself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
