Famous quotes containing the word order:
“Explanations comfort us by giving the impression that there is an order in things.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
