Famous quotes containing the words ethnic and/or groups:

    “Caprice, independence and rebellion, which are opposed to the social order, are essential to the good health of an ethnic group. We shall measure the good health of this group by the number of its delinquents. Nothing is more immobilizing than the spirit of deference.”
    —Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    “Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
