Claim Status

Famous quotes containing the words claim and/or status:

“I have been searching history to see if really a woman has any precedent to claim the right to have her rights, and I am compelled to say that we men are not so much ahead of women after all, and the only way we have kept our reputation up is by keeping her down—and don’t you forget it!”
—George E. Foster, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 38-41 (October 1886)

“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
