Famous quotes containing the words definition and/or refined:
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“A refined soul is distressed to know that someone owes it thanks; a crude soul, to know that it owes someone thanks.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
