Underlying Set

Famous quotes containing the words underlying and/or set:

    If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.
    Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)

    I set it down as a fact that if all men knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
