Famous quotes containing the words constitutes and/or ball:
“Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife.

—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
