Famous quotes containing the words oldest, person and/or region:
“Harvey, Jr.: I was afraid something like this would happen. Being around all those young students was bound to give Father ideas.
Laura: Young ideas, nuts. They’re the oldest ideas in the world.”
—Tom Waldman (d. 1985)
“Because a person is born the subject of a given state, you deny the sovereignty of the people? How about the child of Cuban slaves who is born a slave, is that an argument for slavery? The one is a fact as well as the other. Why then, if you use legal arguments in the one case, you don’t in the other?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“He was a superior man. He did not value his bodily life in comparison with ideal things. He did not recognize unjust human laws, but resisted them as he was bid. For once we are lifted out of the trivialness and dust of politics into the region of truth and manhood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
