Preferred Groups

Famous quotes containing the words preferred and/or groups:

“You preferred it to the usual thing:
One dull man, dulling and uxorious,
One average mind—with one thought less, each year.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
