Famous quotes containing the words ethiopian, democratic, unity and/or party:

    “The Ethiopian cannot change his skin nor the leopard his spots.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The democratic youth ... lives along day by day, gratifying the desire that occurs to him, at one time drinking and listening to the flute, at another downing water and reducing, now practising gymnastic, and again idling and neglecting everything; and sometimes spending his time as though he were occupied in philosophy.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “We will have to stay in this house until 8 o’clock in the morning. But we have some party favors for you in these little coffins.”
    —Robb White, and William Castle. Frederick Loren (Vincent Price)
