Leader Wore

Famous quotes containing the words leader and/or wore:

“The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

“She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
