Congreve/places

Famous quotes containing the words congreve and/or places:

    A wit should no more be sincere, than a woman constant; one argues a decay of parts, as t’other of beauty.
    —William Congreve (1670–1729)

    [University students] hated the hypocrisy of adult society, the rigidity of its political institutions, the impersonality of its bureaucracies. They sought to create a society that places human values before materialistic ones, that has a little less head and a little more heart, that is dominated by self-interest and loves its neighbor more. And they were persuaded that group protest of a militant nature would advance those goals.
    Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
