Modern Standard

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or standard:

“And of the other things death is a new office building filled with modern furniture,
A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.”

“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
