Famous quotes containing the words defending, drawn and/or positions:

    When I tell any truth it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those who do.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I don’t believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)

    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)
