Actual Authority

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or authority:

    “The best way to hate is the worst.
    ‘Tis to find what the hated need,
    Never mind of what actual worth,
    And wipe that out of the earth.
    Let them die of unsatisfied greed....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Contact with men who wield power and authority still leaves an intangible sense of repulsion. It’s very like being in close proximity to faecal matter, the faecal embodiment of something unmentionable, and you wonder what it is made of and when it acquired its historically sacred character.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
