Famous quotes containing the words stale and/or state:
“Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, the revolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth. When we open a “revolutionary” review, or read a “revolutionary” speech, we yawn our heads off. It is true, there is nothing else. Everything is correctly, monotonously, dishearteningly “revolutionary.” What a stupid word! What a stale fuss!”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
