Famous quotes containing the word difference:
“The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The sadistic person is as dependent on the submissive person as the latter is on the former; neither can live without the other. The difference is only that the sadistic person commands, exploits, hurts, humiliates, and that the masochistic person is commanded, exploited, hurt, humiliated. This is a considerable difference in a realistic sense; in a deeper emotional sense, the difference is not so great as that which they both have in common: fusion without integrity.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
