Brighter

Famous quotes containing the word brighter:

    The people I’m furious with are the Women’s Liberationists. They keep getting up on soapboxes and proclaiming women are brighter than men. That’s true, but it should be kept quiet or it ruins the whole racket.
    Anita Loos (1893–1981)

    Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang
    and stood
    In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood?
    Alas! they all are in their graves;
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    I’ve always wondered why European politicians as a group seemed brighter than American politicians as a group. Maybe it’s because many American politicians have the race issue to fall back on. They become lazy, suspicious of innovative ideas, and as a result American institutions atrophy.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
