Famous quotes containing the words prince, designers and/or prize:

    A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    The designers [of the 1930s] were populists, you see; they were trying to give the public what it wanted. What the public wanted was the future.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    In the corrupted currents of this world
    Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
    And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
    Buys out the law; but ‘tis not so above:
    There is no shuffling.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
