Recognized Minority

Famous quotes containing the words recognized and/or minority:

    “... metaphysics, even bad metaphysics, really rests on observations, whether consciously or not; and the only reason that this is not universally recognized is that it rests upon kinds of phenomena with which every man’s experience is so saturated that he pays no particular attention to them.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “A city built upon mud;
    A culture built upon profit;
    Free speech nipped in the bud,
    The minority always guilty.
    Why should I want to go back
    To you, Ireland, my Ireland?”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
