Standard Green

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or green:

“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

“Sea waves are green and wet,
But up from where they die
Rise others vaster yet,
And those are brown and dry.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
