Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or structure:
“... governing is occupying but not interesting, governments are occupying but not interesting ...”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
