Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or concrete:
“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
“Every concrete object
has abstract value, is timeless
in the dream parallel.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
