Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or money:
“I prize the purity of his character as highly as I do that of hers. As a moral being, whatever it is morally wrong for her to do, it is morally wrong for him to do. The fallacious doctrine of male and female virtues has well nigh ruined all that is morally great and lovely in his character: he has been quite as deep a sufferer by it as woman, though mostly in different respects and by other processes.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“It’s not enough to be great, Charley. I tried to tell you in Philly. I tried to tell you in L.A. We’re infested with rats! [to Peg, Charley’s fiancee] He’s not just a kid who can fight, he’s money! And people want money so bad they make it stink!”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
