Famous quotes containing the words research and/or merit:
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“Our impartiality is kept for abstract merit and demerit, which none of us ever saw.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
