Famous quotes containing the words occupational, groups, higher and/or risk:

    There is, I confess, a hazard to the philosophical analysis of humor. If one rereads the passages that have been analyzed, one may no longer be able to laugh at them. This is an occupational hazard: Philosophy is taking the laughter out of humor.
    A.P. Martinich (b. 1946)

    Only the groups which exclude us have magic.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The lesson learned here is a costly one: If you stand up for your principles, follow the law, and win massively, you lose totally.
    Linda J. Carpenter, U.S. educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A38 (July 15, 1992)

    Erica Jong (b. 1942)
