Famous quotes containing the words word and/or formation:
“A word carries far—very far—deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
