A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose

ACQUAINTANCE, n. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to. A degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor or obscure, and “intimate” when he is rich or famous.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Acquaintance,” The Cynic’s Word Book (1906)

A quotation by Atherton, Gertrude

There is a strong conservative instinct in the average man or woman, born of the hereditary fear of life, that prompts them to cling to old standards, or, if too intelligent to look inhospitably upon progress, to move very slowly. Both types are the brakes and wheelhorses necessary to a stable civilization, but history, even current history in the newspapers, would be dull reading if there were no adventurous spirits willing to do battle for new ideas.

Gertrude Atherton (1857-1948) American author, essayist
The Living Present, Book 2, ch. 1, sec. 1 (1917)

ক'দিন আগে একজন প্রাক্তন শিক্ষক গোপিনাথ সরকার দারুণ কথা বলেছিলেন ইন্টারভিউতে, যে এখন এই যুগে একটা অন্তত ভালো দিক তিনি দেখেছেন যে শিক্ষকরা মাসের ১তারিখেই মাইনে পেয়ে যাচ্ছে(১১:০০)... যেটা বাম জমানায় ছিল না। ইনি পার্থ চ্যাটার্জির‌ও শিক্ষক ছিলেন। আরে থাকবে কি'করে, তখন তো সরকারী টাকা বামপন্থী পার্টি ফান্ডে আর জাঠাতে "সংগ্রামী" চাটা, ইপস্ আই মিন চাঁদা দিতেই চলে যেত। 😆😆😆 ছোটবেলায় আমাদের স্কুলের অনেক শিক্ষককেও আমাদের সামনে অসন্তোষ প্রকাশ করে মন খারাপ আক্ষেপ করে বলতে দেখেছি। এক এক সময় তো এমন অবস্থা হতো, যে মাসের ১৫ তারিখে আমাদের সবার সামনেই মাইনে হত শিক্ষকদের 😆😆😆 #teacher #status under #tmcgov vs #left

Why the tailored #suit — not ruffles and lace — became synonymous with #power

“The Great Masculine Renunciation overturned the symbols of #status, #sex, and political power established in the late Middle Ages and created a new sartorial vocabulary for the expression of individual personality. It made understatement into a new kind of status #symbol, which required savoir faire as well as ready cash to exhibit. And, because it was a #masculine phenomenon, it excluded #women who sought power and status.”
