Force Participation Rate

Famous quotes containing the words force and/or rate:

    “The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
