Middle

Famous quotes containing the word middle:

    America is the world’s policeman, all right—a big, dumb, mick flatfoot in the middle of the one thing cops dread most, a “domestic disturbance.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected—those, precisely, who need the laws’s protection most!—and listens to their testimony.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
