Famous quotes containing the words polite and/or language:
“... the movie woman’s world is designed to remind us that a woman may live in a mansion, an apartment, or a yurt, but it’s all the same thing because what she really lives in is the body of a woman, and that body is allowed to occupy space only according to the dictates of polite society.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
“Consensus is usually made possible by vague language and shallow commitments.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
