Famous quotes containing the words gross and/or thrust:

This bodes some strange eruption to our state.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“It was at a particular moment in the history of my own rages that I saw the Western world conditioned by the images of Marx, Darwin and Freud; and Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western world. The simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.”
