Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or substitutes:
“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The true artist doesn’t substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
