Significance Level

Famous quotes containing the words significance and/or level:

    I am not afraid that I shall exaggerate the value and significance of life, but that I shall not be up to the occasion which it is.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... when you do get a job everybody says, “Well, they wanted a black woman,” which necessarily puts you on a level where you have to prove yourself above being a woman and being black.... Now, I would say, in certain situations, it helped me simply because I was mildly attractive, not because I was black or a woman. That gets you more mileage than anything else.... God help you if you’re not an attractive woman.
    Theresa Brown (b. 1957)
