Famous quotes containing the words positions and/or held:
“An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy.

Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“And knew that nature could not more refine

And held there, after the living body’s line
Has moved wherever it must move ...”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
