Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    “Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “All over this land women have no political existence. Laws pass over our heads that we can not unmake. Our property is taken from us without our consent. The babes we bear in anguish and carry in our arms are not ours.”
    —Lucy Stone (1818–1893)

    “Action is at bottom a swinging and flailing of the arms to regain one’s balance and keep afloat.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
