Famous quotes containing the words categorical and/or product:
“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)
“To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
