Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or communists:

    That is a very good question. I don’t know the answer. But can you tell me the name of a classical Greek shoemaker?
    Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    ...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
