Famous quotes containing the words examples of, examples, umbrella and/or species:

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    There are certain things—as, a spider, a ghost,
    The income-tax, gout, an umbrella for three—
    That I hate, but the thing that I hate the most
    Is a thing they call the Sea.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.
    Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
