Famous quotes containing the words wheel, love and/or stories:
“The wheel and the brake have different duties, but also one in common: to hurt one another.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess?
Do they call virtue there ungratefulness?”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
