Famous quotes containing the words bernard and/or tucker:
“There is nothing more dangerous than the conscience of a bigot.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
