Famous quotes containing the words number and/or due:

“In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.”
—Gloria Steinem (20th century)

“But in all things whether we shall make only a due use of the liberties we have asked, is left entirely to the judicious reader to decide.”
