Credit System

Famous quotes containing the words credit and/or system:

    If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 6:32.

    To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
