Famous quotes containing the words adolf and/or abdication:

    “The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is “what should be.” Now, if you’re taught to live up to a “what should be” that never existed—only an occult superstition, no proof of this “should be”Mthen you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!”
    —Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)

    “The abdication of Belief
    Makes the Behavior small—
    Better an ignis fatuus
    Than no illume at all.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
