Claims

Famous quotes containing the word claims:

    All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    For that is love’s nature that it lays claim to exclusive right and that all other claims are nil.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
