Famous quotes containing the word wicked:
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“Society has quite forsaken all her wicked courses,
Which empties our police courts, and abolishes divorces.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“However wicked men may be, they dare not profess themselves enemies to virtue; and when they wish to persecute it, they either call it false, or impute crimes to it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
