Clark Considered

Famous quotes containing the words clark and/or considered:

    The measure of your quality as a public person, as a citizen, is the gap between what you do and what you say.
    —Ramsey Clark (b. 1927)

    Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.
    —Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
