Providing

Famous quotes containing the word providing:

“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“Work is the best of narcotics, providing the patient be strong enough to take it.... I ... dread idleness as if it were Hell.”
—Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)

“If cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong.”
—Tom Jaine (b. 1943)
