Influence Cage

Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or cage:

    What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.
    Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    “... Let the cage bird and the cage bird mate and the wild bird mate in the wild.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
