Famous quotes containing the words break, left and/or idealism:

    Nothing will be left white but here a birch,
    And there a clump of houses with a church.

    It wasn’t idealism that made me, from the beginning, want a more secure and rational society. It was an intellectual judgement, to which I still hold. When I was young its name was socialism. We can be deflected by names. But the need was absolute, and is still absolute.
    Raymond Williams (1921–1988)
