Damage Estimated

Famous quotes containing the words damage and/or estimated:

“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)

“The glory of a great man ought always to be estimated by the means used to acquire it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
