Famous quotes containing the words level and/or score:
“... when you do get a job everybody says, Well, they wanted a black woman, which necessarily puts you on a level where you have to prove yourself above being a woman and being black.... Now, I would say, in certain situations, it helped me simply because I was mildly attractive, not because I was black or a woman. That gets you more mileage than anything else.... God help you if youre not an attractive woman.”
—Theresa Brown (b. 1957)
“And theres a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay
And smooth out stain and blemish with the elegance of his mind:
I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
