Famous quotes containing the words operation, spirit and/or tyranny:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“The seven deadly sins.... Food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from Man’s neck but money; and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Speak against unconscious oppression,
Speak against the tyranny of the unimaginative,
Speak against bonds.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
