Effective Descriptive Set

Famous quotes containing the words effective and/or set:

“Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery. Injustice sustained at the exact degree of necessary tension to turn the cogs of the huge machine-for- the-making-of-rich-men, without bursting the boiler.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

“Some people appear to be more meager in talent than they are, just because the tasks they set themselves are always too great.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
