Famous quotes containing the words table, groups and/or accused:
“Comes the time when its later
and onto your table the headwaiter
puts the bill,”
—Robert Creeley (b. 1926)
“The awareness of the all-surpassing importance of social groups is now general property in America.”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
“When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics.”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)
