Famous quotes containing the words code and/or block:
“Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a sock in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruisticallyfor our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralistbut then what isnt?”
