Strangle

Famous quotes containing the word strangle:

    He’d strangle on his own spit if he didn’t have me around here to swab his throat out for him.
    Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

    I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
