Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or offered:
“I’ve always credited the private detective with a high degree of omniscience. Or is that only true in rental fiction?”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
