Famous quotes containing the words absorption, fine and/or structure:

    The great social adventure of America is no longer the conquest of the wilderness but the absorption of fifty different peoples.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe,
    She can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby,
    She can use her intuition instead of her brain,
    But she can’t fold a paper in a crowded train.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
