Famous quotes containing the words income and/or glance:

    Strictly speaking, every citizen above a certain level of income is guilty of some offense.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    Virtuous people are simply those who have ... not been tempted sufficiently, because they live in a vegetative state, or because their purposes are so concentrated in one direction that they have not had the leisure to glance around them.
    Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
