Expensive Perfume

Famous quotes containing the words expensive and/or perfume:

    “Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
    —Richard B. Stolley (20th century)

    “[Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
