Famous quotes containing the words breed and/or standards:

    Not from this anger after
    Refusal struck like a bell under water
    Shall her smile breed that mouth, behind the mirror,
    That burns along my eyes.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. Where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
