Quietly

Famous quotes containing the word quietly:

    I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
    Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

    Life is too precious to be spent in this weaving and unweaving of false impressions, and it is better to live quietly under some degree of misrepresentation than to attempt to remove it by the uncertain process of letter- writing.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    You may well ask how I expect to assert my privacy by resorting to the outrageous publicity of being one’s actual self on paper. There’s a possibility of it working if one chooses the terms, to wit: outshouting image-gimmick America through a quietly desperate search for self.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)
