Famous quotes containing the words branded and/or mind:
“You do not become a “dissident” just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career. You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends with being branded an enemy of society.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
