Famous quotes containing the words ellis and/or hobbs:

    We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilisation.
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.
    —May Hobbs (b. 1938)
