Famous quotes containing the words persons, influential, field and/or ethics:

    “Humanity from the first has had its vultures and sharks, and representatives of the fraternity who prey upon mankind may be expected no less in America than elsewhere. That this virulence breaks out most readily and commonly against colored persons in this country, is due of course to the fact that they are, generally speaking, weak and can be imposed upon with impunity. Bullies are always cowards at heart ...”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    “Without hesitation, I place Freud among the heroes. He dispossessed the Jewish people of the greatest and most influential of all heroes—Moses.”
    —Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

    “How sweet I roam’d from field to field
    And tasted all the summer’s pride,
    Till I the Prince of Love beheld
    Who in the sunny beams did glide!”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Such is the brutalization of commercial ethics in this country that no one can feel anything more delicate than the velvet touch of a soft buck.”
