Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or parity:
“It’s a very odd thing—
As odd as can be—
That whatever Miss T. eats
Turns into Miss T.;”
—Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
“The U.S. is becoming an increasingly fatherless society. A generation ago, an American child could reasonably expect to grow up with his or her father. Today an American child can reasonably expect not to. Fatherlessness is now approaching a rough parity with fatherhood as a defining feature of American childhood.”
—David Blankenhorn (20th century)
