Excessive Saving

Famous quotes containing the words excessive and/or saving:

    Through excessive exertion they put together some free time, and afterwards have no idea what to do with it except to count the hours until they’ve passed.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    We black women must forgive black men for not protecting us against slavery, racism, white men, our confusion, their doubts. And black men must forgive black women for our own sometimes dubious choices, divided loyalties, and lack of belief in their possibilities. Only when our sons and our daughters know that forgiveness is real, existent, and that those who love them practice it, can they form bonds as men and women that really can save and change our community.
    Marita Golden, educator, author. Saving Our Sons, p. 188, Doubleday (1995)
