Famous quotes containing the words sharp, statements, equivalent and/or existence:
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”

We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“...care and labor are as much correlated to human existence as shadow is to light ...”
