Separate Accounts

Famous quotes containing the words separate and/or accounts:

“Now men and women are separate and unequal. We should be hand in hand; in fact, we should have our arms around each other.”
—Cloris Leachman (b. 1930)

“The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don’t seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it’s because we’re engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves ... as supplicants admitted to a shrine.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
