Categorical Grants

Famous quotes containing the words categorical and/or grants:

    We do the same thing to parents that we do to children. We insist that they are some kind of categorical abstraction because they produced a child. They were people before that, and they’re still people in all other areas of their lives. But when it comes to the state of parenthood they are abruptly heir to a whole collection of virtues and feelings that are assigned to them with a fine arbitrary disregard for individuality.
    Leontine Young (20th century)

    ... liberty is the one thing no man can have unless he grants it to others.
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
