Gibbon/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words gibbon and/or behavior:

    My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the obscurity of a learned language.
    —Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.
    Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)
