Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

“Consider the difference between looking and staring. A look is voluntary; it is also mobile, rising and falling in intensity as its foci of interest are taken up and then exhausted. A stare has, essentially, the character of a compulsion; it is steady, unmodulated, “fixed.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“The difference between our decadence and the Russians’ is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)

“The difference between people and ideas is ... only superficial.”
—Richard Rorty (b. 1931)
