Famous quotes containing the word isms:

    All the isms are wasms—except one, the most powerful ism of this century, indeed, of the entire democratic age, which is nationalism.
    John Lukacs (b. 1924)

    “There is Lowell, who’s striving Parnassus to climb
    With a whole bale of isms tied together with rhyme,
    He might get on alone, spite of brambles and boulders,
    But he can’t with that bundle he has on his shoulders,
    The top of the hill he will ne’er come nigh reaching
    Till he learns the distinction ‘twixt singing and preaching;
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
