Famous quotes containing the word pay:
“The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Shaw’s plays are the price we pay for Shaw’s prefaces.”
—James Agate (1877–1947)
“Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
