Famous quotes containing the word dangerous:

“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare.

—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
“Art is dangerous. It is one of the attractions: when it ceases to be dangerous you don’t want it.”
