Famous quotes containing the words distribution of, distribution, seats, beginning and/or parliament:

    “There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? All the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.”
    —John Lennon (1940–1980)

    “The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
