Exclusion Act

Famous quotes containing the words exclusion and/or act:

“All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Yes, having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
