Famous quotes containing the words positions and/or held:

    “... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
