Conditions

Famous quotes containing the word conditions:

    To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never—I repeat—never under any conditions face the facts.
    Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)

    There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon. We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.
    Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

    The strong sunlight, the wind from the sea,
    all the conditions of its existence,
    may have flaked off the paint, if ever it was painted,
    and made it homelier than it was.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
