Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

    The difference between farce and humour in literature is, I suppose, that farce strums louder and louder on one string, while humour varies its note, changes its key, grows and spreads and deepens until it may indeed reach tragic depths.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)

    When a man’s partner is killed he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner, and you’re supposed to do something about it.
    Dashiell Hammett (1894–1961)

    There is no difference between the client and the prostitute. If a man goes to a prostitute, he is also a prostitute.
    Sister Michele, Indian nun. As quoted in the New York Times Magazine, p. 35 (January 16, 1994)
