Famous quotes containing the word gap:
“The confrontation between America and Europe reveals not so much a rapprochement as a distortion, an unbridgeable rift. There isnt just a gap between us, but a whole chasm of modernity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“She isnt harassed. Shes busy, and its glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mothers time seems like the scarcity of the top executives time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“... we may leisurely
Each one demand and answer to his part
Performed in this wide gap of time since
First we were dissevered.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
