World Standard

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or standard:

“National literature does not mean much these days; now is the age of world literature, and every one must contribute to hasten the arrival of that age.”

“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
