Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or hand:
“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“So they built as men must build
With the sword in one hand and the trowel in the other.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
