Famous quotes containing the words tax, free and/or shopping:
“Parents are used to being made to feel guilty about...their contribution to the population problem, the school tax burden, and declining test scores. They expect to be blamed by teachers and psychologists, if not by police. And they will be blamed by the children themselves. It is hardy a wonder, then, that they withdraw into what used to be called permissiveness but is really neglect.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! Thats one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the populationthe intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree its the fools, no matter where you go in this world, its the fools that form the overwhelming majority.”
—Henrik Ibsen (18281906)
“Shopping seemed to take an entirely too important place in womens lives. You never saw men milling around in mens departments. They made quick work of it. I used to wonder if shopping was a form of escape for women who had no worthwhile interests.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877?)
