Famous quotes containing the words test and/or model:
“I am willing, for a money consideration, to test this physical strength, this nervous force, and muscular power with which Ive been gifted, to show that they will bear a certain strain. If I break down, if my brain gives way under want of sleep, my heart ceases to respond to the calls made on my circulatory system, or the surcharged veins of my extremities burstif, in short, I fall helpless, or it may be, dead on the track, then I lose my money.”
—Ada Anderson (1860?)
“The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.”
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
