Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    The traveler to the United States will do well ... to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    It must be admitted that there are some parts of the soul which we must entirely paralyse before we can live happily in this world.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
