Famous quotes containing the words excited and/or state:
“The existence of good bad literaturethe fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that ones intellect simply refuses to take seriouslyis a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration.”
—George Orwell (19031950)
“Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, they dont want me, they accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, they dont deserve me.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
