Famous quotes containing the words key and/or words:
“Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

No one who has not experienced the condescension of a buyer toward an ordinary salesgirl can have any conception of its withering effect.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
