Imperial Privilege

Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or privilege:

    Insensibility, of all kinds, and on all occasions, most moves my imperial displeasure.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
