Famous quotes containing the words radical and/or left:
“Considering that, all hatred driven hence,
The soul recovers radical innocence
And learns at last that it is self-delighting,
Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,
And that its own sweet will is Heaven’s will;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don’t talk politics.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
