Quote by Paul McCartney

We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.

We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split

Summary

This quote reflects the speaker's experience of witnessing the disintegration of a strong friendship due to external factors, specifically the breakup of the Beatles and the arrival of Yoko Ono. The comparison to "old army buddies" suggests a bond forged through shared experiences that is eventually strained and broken when one person enters into a committed relationship. It highlights the transformative power of love and the way it can lead to changes in priorities, allegiances, and ultimately the dissolution of once-close friendships.

U.N. Women was created due to the acknowledgement that gender equality and women's empowerment was still, despite progress, far from what it should be.

The whole financial structure of Wall Street seems to rise or fall on the mere fact that the Federal Reserve Bank raises or lowers the amount of interest. Any business that can't survive a one percent change must be skating on thin ice.Why even the poor farmer took a raise of another ten percent just to get a loan from the bank, and nobody from the government paid any attention. But you let Wall Street have a nightmare and the whole country has to help to get them back into bed again.
