Famous quotes containing the words ethnic and/or composition:

    “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)

    “Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
