Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or grades:

    “Just as soon as we notice that someone has to force himself to pay attention when dealing and talking with us, we have a valid demonstration that he does not love us or that he does not love us anymore.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Kindliness seems to exist primarily as an animal instinct, so deeply rooted that mental degeneracy, which works from the top down, does not destroy it until the mind sinks to the lower grades of idiocy.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
