Peter B. Medawar

Famous quotes containing the words peter b, peter and/or medawar:

    Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by men. Modern man’s fear of passivity or of the active woman proves to be as eternal as modern woman’s struggle to come to terms with her femininity.
    Peter Blos (20th century)

    Trust everybody, but cut the cards.
    —Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)

    Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.... Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood.
    —Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
