Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or life:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“I felt for my crime a just terror; I looked on my life with hate, and my passion with horror.”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
