Famous quotes containing the words ellis, johnson and/or arena:

    Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents.... It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community.... It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    ... often the empowering strategies we use in the arena of love and friendship are immediately dropped when we come into the arena of politicized difference—when in fact some of those strategies are useful and necessary.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
