Famous quotes containing the words theories and/or segregation:
“Whatever practical people may say, this world is, after all, absolutely governed by ideas, and very often by the wildest and most hypothetical ideas. It is a matter of the very greatest importance that our theories of things that seem a long way apart from our daily lives, should be as far as possible true, and as far as possible removed from error.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!”
—George C. Wallace (b. 1919)
