Fourth State Reform

Famous quotes containing the words fourth, state and/or reform:

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    And let Reform her columns roll.
    With thunder peal, and lightening flash.
    We’ll preach deliverance to the soul.
    ‘Mid proud Oppression’s waning crash.
    Ignis, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Genius of Liberty, pp. 9-10 (November 1853)
