Force Paradox

Famous quotes containing the words force and/or paradox:

“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.”
