Famous quotes containing the words types of, types, hot and/or money:

    Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    Blotting the sun
    Stinging the eyes.
    The hot seeds steam underground
    still alive.
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    We shall never get people whose time is money to take much interest in atoms.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
