Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or roles:

    The principal point of cleverness is to know how to value things just as they deserve.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.
    Eleanore Kendall Pettersen (b. 1916)
