Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I tell people that when my son was this age, all of the things he did that really aggravated me and got me upset were things that, from the standpoint of healthy child development, I wanted him to do. I just didn’t want him to do them to me, or at those particular moments!”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
