Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    for a second
    Wives saw men of the explosion

    Larger than in life they managed—
    Gold as on a coin, or walking
    Somehow from the sun towards them,
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
