Famous quotes containing the words condition and/or positive:
“The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
“It is easy and dismally enervating to think of opposition as merely perverse or actually evil—far more invigorating to see it as essential for honing the mind, and as a positive good in itself. For the day that moral issues cease to be fought over is the day the word “human” disappears from the race.”
—Jill Tweedie (b. 1936)
