Famous quotes containing the words demand and/or test:
“Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don’t want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Conventional manners are a kind of literacy test for the alien who comes among us.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
