Famous quotes by frances partridge:

    It is a purely relative matter where one draws the plimsoll- line of condemnation, and ... if you find the whole of humanity falls below it you have simply made a mistake and drawn it too high. And are probably below it yourself.
    Frances Partridge (b. 1900)
