Ideal Type Person

Famous quotes containing the words ideal, type and/or person:

    The ideal place for me is the one in which it is most natural to live as a foreigner.
    Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    People forget that it is the eye that makes the horizon, and the rounding mind’s eye which makes this or that man a type or representative of humanity with the name of hero or saint.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.
    John Lukacs (b. 1924)
