Regularly Constituted

Famous quotes containing the words regularly and/or constituted:

    the small tuft of fronds or katydid legs above each eye, still
    numbering the units in each group;
    the shadbones regularly set about the mouth, to droop or rise
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The rebel, unlike the revolutionary, does not attempt to undermine the social order as a whole. The rebel attacks the tyrant; the revolutionary attacks tyranny. I grant that there are rebels who regard all governments as tyrannical; nonetheless, it is abuses that they condemn, not power itself. Revolutionaries, on the other hand, are convinced that the evil does not lie in the excesses of the constituted order but in order itself. The difference, it seems to me, is considerable.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
