Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “Coming out, all the way out, is offered more and more as the political solution to our oppression. The argument goes that, if people could see just how many of us there are, some in very important places, the negative stereotype would vanish overnight. ...It is far more realistic to suppose that, if the tenth of the population that is gay became visible tomorrow, the panic of the majority of people would inspire repressive legislation of a sort that would shock even the pessimists among us.”
    —Jane Rule (b. 1931)
