Divided Difference

Famous quotes containing the words divided and/or difference:

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    The difference between our decadence and the Russians’ is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
