Famous quotes containing the words king, biscuit, flower and/or hour:
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
““He is so polite!”MYes, he is always prepared with a biscuit for Cerberus and is so timid that he assumes everyone is Cerberus, even you and me—that is his “politeness.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. To “Why am I here?” To uselessness. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
“No, I have no thoughts about anything, even less am I feeling rebellious. That is the punishment, Martha, and I suppose that there comes an hour when all murderers are like me, emptied from the inside, sterile, without any possible future. That is why they are eliminated, they are no longer good for anything.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
