Match Figures

Famous quotes containing the words match and/or figures:

“Seducing one’s neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbor’s opinion—who can match women in this clever ploy?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Families suffered badly under industrialization, but they survived, and the lives of men, women, and children improved. Children, once marginal and exploited figures, have moved to a position of greater protection and respect,... The historic decline in the overall death rates for children is an astonishing social fact, notwithstanding the disgraceful infant mortality figures for the poor and minorities. Like the decline in death from childbirth for women, this is a stunning achievement.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
