Debt Crisis

Famous quotes containing the words debt and/or crisis:

“Man’s pity for himself, or for his son,
Always premising that said son at college
Has not contracted much more debt than knowledge.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
