Famous quotes containing the words wider, interests, public and/or service:

    “There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average “Woman’s Page” of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of “high society.” Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    “The public buys its opinions as it buys its meat, or takes in its milk, on the principle that it is cheaper to do this than to keep a cow. So it is, but the milk is more likely to be watered.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
