Famous quotes containing the words tug, war and/or summer:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partners job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“In the present civil war it is quite possible that Gods purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“Taffeta phrases, silken phrases precise,
Three-piled hyperbole, spruce affectation,
Figures pedanticalthese summer flies
Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
I do forswear them.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
