Famous quotes containing the words quality and/or assurance:
“Gaiety—a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Women have a hard time of it in this world. They are oppressed by man-made laws, man-made social customs, masculine egoism, the delusion of masculine superiority. Their one comfort is the assurance that, even though it may be impossible to prevail against man, it is always possible to enslave and torture a man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
