Famous quotes containing the words combined, weeks, number and/or charts:
“You do not become a dissident just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“To introduce a new play only six weeks after another has been banned is also a way to speak ones piece to the government. It proves that art and liberty can grow back in one night under the clumsy foot which crushes them.”
—Victor Hugo (18021885)
“God ... created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failedthat is the meaning of evolution.”
—Graham Greene (19041991)
“Theres one basic rule you should remember about development charts that will save you countless hours of worry.... The fact that a child passes through a particular developmental stage is always more important than the age of that child when he or she does it. In the long run, it really doesnt matter whether you learn to walk at ten months or fifteen monthsas long as you learn how to walk.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
