Deeper

Famous quotes containing the word deeper:

    Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    My beards, attend
    To the laughter of evil: the fierce ricanery
    With the ferocious chu-chot-chu between, the sobs
    For breath to laugh the louder, the deeper gasps
    Uplifting the completest rhetoric
    Of sneers....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.
    Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
