Famous quotes containing the words state of and/or state:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“The wealthy man is not he who has money, but he who has the means to live in the luxurious state of early spring.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
