Famous quotes containing the word size:
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nations public school system entitled Savage Inequalities, Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Delusions that shrink to the size of a womans glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:

—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Eat your meals according to the size of your bowl.”
—Chinese proverb.
