Famous quotes containing the words club, names, referring, values and/or ideals:
“He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his powerhow he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen for such a purpose.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“Matter and force are the two names of the one artist who fashions the living as well as the lifeless.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (182595)
“Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastimeIm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. Its extremely painful. I agree that its hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. Its no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (18731954)
“Politics is not an end, but a means. It is not a product, but a process. It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits. So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness, instead of candid and sincere service.”
—Calvin Coolidge (18721933)
“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
