Famous quotes containing the words common and/or stereotypes:
“All this class of pleasures inspires me with the same nausea as I feel at the sight of rich plum-cake or sweetmeats; I prefer the driest bread of common life.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“There is a striking dichotomy between the behavior of many women in their lives at work and in their lives as mothers.

—Ellen Lewis (20th century)
