Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or masses:
“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)
“A man of thought must feel the thought that is parent of the universe: that the masses of nature do undulate and flow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
