Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or washington:
“Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastimeIm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. Its extremely painful. I agree that its hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. Its no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (18731954)
“For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
