Famous quotes containing the words set and/or theory:
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each others affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (19031974)
“The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of Gods chillun, but that as soon as he has any luck he owes it to the Devil.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
