Famous quotes containing the words nuclear, test, series, carried and/or site:

    “American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “The test of a man’s or woman’s breeding is how they behave in a quarrel. Anybody can behave well when things are going smoothly.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The menu was stewed liver and rice, fricassee of bones, and shredded dog biscuit. The dinner was greatly appreciated; the guests ate until they could eat no more, and Elisha Dyer’s dachshund so overtaxed its capacities that it fell unconscious by its plate and had to be carried home.”
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospects.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
