Famous quotes containing the words set and/or amount:
“It is a great mistake to suppose that clever, imaginative children ... should content themselves with the empty nonsense which is so often set before them under the name of Children’s Tales. They want something much better; and it is surprising how much they see and appreciate which escapes a good, honest, well- informed papa.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
“If we could produce one or two more Madame Curies, that would accomplish far more for the advancement of women than any amount of agitation, argument and legislation.”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
