Famous quotes containing the words positions and/or held:

    “... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Then moved my Fingers off
    As cautiously as Glass
    And held my ears, and like a Thief
    Fled gasping from the House—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
