Order Perturbation Theory

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or theory:

“Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend.”
