Famous quotes containing the words table, advanced, drug and/or candidates:
“Language was vigorous because, because ... editors usually “laid all the cards on the table so as to leave their hands ... free for more persuasive arguments!” The citizenry at large retaliated as best they could.”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)
“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
