Famous quotes containing the words key, health, services, young and/or people:
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
“...I am who I am because I’m a black female.... When I was health director in Arkansas ... I could talk about teen-age pregnancy, about poverty, ignorance and enslavement and how the white power structure had imposed it—only because I was a black female. I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There was a young man of Montrose
Who had pockets in none of his clothes.”
—Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)
“I never could get on with representative individuals—but people who existed on their own account and with whom it might therefore be possible to be friends.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
