Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or odds:
“According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.”

“Irish? In truth I would not want to be anything else. It is a state of mind as well as an actual country. It is being at odds with other nationalities, having quite different philosophy about pleasure, about punishment, about life, and about death. At least it does not leave one pusillanimous.”
—Edna O’Brien (b. c. 1932)
