Famous quotes containing the words occupational, groups, higher and/or risk:

    There is, I confess, a hazard to the philosophical analysis of humor. If one rereads the passages that have been analyzed, one may no longer be able to laugh at them. This is an occupational hazard: Philosophy is taking the laughter out of humor.
    A.P. Martinich (b. 1946)

    Only the groups which exclude us have magic.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

    The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
