Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

“It is a rule of creative ability that it does nothing of any value, while it is possessed by this afflatus of vanity.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)

“If you would rule the world quietly, you must keep it amused.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Charity is a cop-out so traditionally female in its apparent self-effacement that there seems resonant comfort in it. We’re no longer supposed to serve the imaginations of men who have dominated us. We are to give up ourselves instead to those whose suffering is greater than our own. Looking down is just as distorting as looking up and as dangerous in perpetuating hierarchies.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
