Fingers Pointing

Famous quotes containing the words fingers and/or pointing:

    Calmed by my pleading,
    she continued to list your crimes,
    found that ten fingers weren’t enough
    and cried for a long time.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
