Common Side

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or side:

“Do you think that it is possible to have a mere taste of commonness? Either one hates it or makes common cause with it.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody’s mom in that she knows what’s best for us. But if you look at the historical record—Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages—you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
