Famous quotes containing the words merit, order and/or list:
“Though learned, well-bred; and though well-bred, sincere;

Who to a friend his faults can freely show,
And gladly praise the merit of a foe?”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
