Famous quotes containing the words national, democratic and/or party:

    “But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “As if paralyzed by the national fear of ideas, the democratic distrust of whatever strikes beneath the prevailing platitudes, it evades all resolute and honest dealing with what, after all, must be every healthy literature’s elementary materials.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “The best number for a dinner party is two—myself and a dam’ good head waiter.”
    —Nubar Gulbenkian (1896–1972)
