Technical Standards

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or standards:

“A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”
—Heywood Broun (1888–1939)

“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
