Famous quotes containing the words terra firma, terra, capital and/or partners:

    “In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
    —Joyce Maynard (20th century)

    “A ship is a bit of terra firma cut off from the main; it is a state in itself; and the captain is its king.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “We make needless ado about capital punishment,—taking lives, when there is no life to take.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
