Feudal Lord

Famous quotes containing the words feudal and/or lord:

“What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)

“I’ve never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
