Partisan Detachment

Famous quotes containing the words partisan and/or detachment:

    The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
