Famous quotes containing the words divisions and/or region:

    “Nothing does more to activate Christian divisions than talk about Christian unity.”
    —Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    “When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.”
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
