Famous quotes containing the words hiss and/or case:
“Ah! Sir, a boy’s being flogged is not so severe as a man’s having the hiss of the world against him.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one’s country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
