Pay Rates

Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or rates:

    “Anxious to publicise and pay our dues
    Contracted here, we, Bernard Noel Hughes
    And Philip Arthur Larkin, do desire
    To requite and to reward those whom we choose;
    To thank our friends, before our time expire,
    And those whom, if not friends, we yet admire.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “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)
