Famous quotes containing the words kinds of, kinds and/or racks:

    There are two kinds of liberalism. A liberalism which is always, subterraneously authoritative and paternalistic, on the side of one’s good conscience. And then there is a liberalism which is more ethical than political; one would have to find another name for this. Something like a profound suspension of judgment.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won’t.
    William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)

    Man’s feeble race what ills await!
    Labour, and Penury, the racks of Pain,
    Disease, and Sorrow’s weeping train,
    And Death, sad refuge from the storms of Fate!
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
