    “It is not more people that are needed in the world but better people, physically, morally and mentally. This question of raising the quality of our American population must also be taken into account in the question of immigration.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    “I never feel so conscious of my race as I do when I stand before a class of twenty-five young men and women eager to learn about what it is to be black in America.”
    —Claire Oberon Garcia, African American college professor. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B3 (July 27, 1994)

    “This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self- opinionated.”
    —Report by Personnel Officer at I.C.I., rejecting Mrs. Thatcher for a job in 1948.

    “It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
