Famous quotes containing the word antagonism:

    “Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely that which all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
