Claim Status

Famous quotes containing the words claim and/or status:

“What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
