Famous quotes containing the words notable, freedom and/or riders:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes.

—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“There where the course is,

The crowd that closes in behind....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
