Famous quotes containing the words series and/or platform:
“Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
