Famous quotes containing the words ism and/or members:
“Grandpa: Penny, why don’t you write a play about ism-mania?
Penny: Ism-mania?
Grandpa: Yeah, sure. You know, communism, fascism, voodooism. Everybody’s got an ism these days.
Penny: It sounds like an itch or something.
Grandpa: It’s just as catching. When things go a little bad these days, you go out and get yourself an ism and you’re in business.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
