Famous quotes containing the words million and/or views:
“Thus every Part was full of Vice,
Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
The worst of all the Multitude
Did something for the Common Good.
... ...Luxury
Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
And odious Pride a Million more...
... ...the very Poor
Liv’d better than the Rich before...”
—Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
