Famous quotes containing the words radical and/or left:

    The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one’s people that has not previously been taken into account.
    Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, money till it’s spent, your wife till she’s joined a woman’s club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.
    O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
