Famous quotes containing the word victims:

    Men are not philosophers, but are rather very foolish children, who, by reason of their partiality, see everything in the most absurd manner, and are the victims at all times of the nearest object. There is even no philosopher who is a philosopher at all times. Our experience, our perception is conditioned by the need to acquire in parts and in succession, that is, with every truth a certain falsehood.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We fetch fire and water, run about all day among the shops and markets, and get our clothes and shoes made and mended, and are the victims of these details, and once in a fortnight we arrive perhaps at a rational moment.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... tyrants deserve to be the victims of tyrants.
    Jeanne De Hericourt (1809–1875)
