Famous quotes containing the words dominated and/or option:
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
“A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
