Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

“The difference is wide that the sheets will not decide.”

“There is a difference between eating and drinking for strength and from mere gluttony.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
