Emphatic State

Famous quotes containing the words emphatic and/or state:

“Over emphatic negatives always suggest that what is being denied may be what is really being asserted.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

“... the idea of a classless society is ... a disastrous mirage which cannot be maintained without tyranny of the few over the many. It is even more pernicious culturally than politically, not because the monolithic state forces the party line upon its intellectuals and artists, but because it has no social patterns to reflect.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
