Side Effects

Famous quotes containing the words side effects, side and/or effects:

    What is done for science must also be done for art: accepting undesirable side effects for the sake of the main goal, and moreover diminishing their importance by making this main goal more magnificent. For one should reform forward, not backward: social illnesses, revolutions, are evolutions inhibited by a conserving stupidity.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    By that bedes side ther kneleth a may,
    And she wepeth both nyght and day.

    And by that beddes side ther stondith a ston,
    ‘Corpus Christi’wretyn theron.
    Unknown. Corpus Christi Carol (l. 11–14)

    Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.
    Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
