Status Individual

Famous quotes containing the words status and/or individual:

“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)

“Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,—the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
