Famous quotes containing the words highest, crude, death and/or rates:

    ““It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.... I would call your attention to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
    “The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
    “That was the curious incident.””
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “A crude mind could easily think: something is valid, therefore it is true.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “For ‘tis not in mere death that men die most.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.”
    —Gloria Steinem (20th century)
