Famous quotes containing the words price and/or level:

    For what were all these country patriots born?
    To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    ... when you do get a job everybody says, “Well, they wanted a black woman,” which necessarily puts you on a level where you have to prove yourself above being a woman and being black.... Now, I would say, in certain situations, it helped me simply because I was mildly attractive, not because I was black or a woman. That gets you more mileage than anything else.... God help you if you’re not an attractive woman.
    Theresa Brown (b. 1957)
