Famous quotes containing the words kenneth and/or newman:

    Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    I love the male body, it’s better designed than the male mind.
    —Andrea Newman (b. 1938)
