Funding Standard Account

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or account:

“There is a certain standard of grace and beauty which consists in a certain relation between our nature, such as it is, weak or strong, and the thing which pleases us. Whatever is formed according to this standard pleases us, be it house, song, discourse, verse, prose, woman, birds, rivers, trees, room, dress, and so on. Whatever is not made according to this standard displeases those who have good taste.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“I never could get on with representative individuals—but people who existed on their own account and with whom it might therefore be possible to be friends.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
