Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“As poverty has been reduced in terms of mere survival, it has become more profound in terms of our way of life.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind’s door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
“Theology—An effort to explain the unknowable by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
