Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat ... but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

    “An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
