Famous quotes containing the word series:

    “Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
    —Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    “Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
