Double Ten

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or ten:

“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

“There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
