Famous quotes containing the words show and/or types:

    Doesn’t that show what an old man I am, when I can say to a mother “I love your daughter,” and not get the reply “what are your intentions, and what is your income?”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
