Establish

Famous quotes containing the word establish:

    We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions—love, antipathy, charity, or malice—and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    If I were a woman, I would never trust men who say they are feminists. Either they are acting out of guilt, trying to establish credentials, or they think they might be able to pick up more girls. If I were a woman, I would say, go away and have your first period. Then come back and tell me you are a feminist.
    David Thomas (b. 1959)

    To establish oneself in the world, one does all one can to seem established there already.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
