Significant Bit Set

Famous quotes containing the words significant, bit and/or set:

    Is it impossible not to wonder why a movement which professes concern for the fate of all women has dealt so unkindly, contemptuously, so destructively, with so significant a portion of its sisterhood. Can it be that those who would reorder society perceive as the greater threat not the chauvinism of men or the pernicious attitudes of our culture, but rather the impulse to mother within women themselves?
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    We have paid for nothing more dearly than for the little bit of human reason and the sense of freedom that currently constitutes our pride.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Thou shalt not set up Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey;
    Because the first is crazed beyond all hope,
    The second drunk, the third so quaint and mouthy:
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
