Famous quotes containing the word insist:
“All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“If you insist on asking me why I feel the way I do, I plan to take the Fifth Amendment.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“‘Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
