Famous quotes containing the words bids and/or state:
“The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honour is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“However painful it may be for me to accept this conclusion, I am obliged to state it: for the black man there is only one destiny. And it is white.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
