Famous quotes containing the word paper:

    “Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges ... which are employed altogether for their benefit.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “Well, my paper has asked me to do a series: Lives of the Great Musicians, reading time 2 minutes.”
    —Dodie Smith, and Lewis Allen. Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland)

    “Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China’s 600 million people is that they are “poor and blank.” This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
