Famous quotes containing the words plans and/or set:
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (18051859)
“Shes just a child,
but Im the one whos fainthearted.
Shes the woman,
but Im the coward.
She bears that high, swollen set of breasts,
but Im the one whos burdened.
The heavy hips are hers,
but Im unable to move.
Its a wonder
how clumsy Ive become
because of flaws
that shelter themselves
in another.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
