Individual Differences

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or differences:

    [Girls] study under the paralyzing idea that their acquirements cannot be brought into practical use. They may subserve the purposes of promoting individual domestic pleasure and social enjoyment in conversation, but what are they in comparison with the grand stimulation of independence and self- reliance, of the capability of contributing to the comfort and happiness of those whom they love as their own souls?
    Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)

    No sooner had I glanced at this letter, than I concluded it to be that of which I was in search.

    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
