Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or hunt:

    “Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens.”
    —William, Lord Beveridge (1879–1963)

    “In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
