Left Communism/1952%e2%80%931968

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or communism:

    She smiled and that transfigured me
    And left me but a lout,
    Maundering here, and maundering there,
    Emptier of thought
    Than the heavenly circuit of its stars
    When the moon sails out.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    You’ll see certain Pythagoreans whose belief in communism of property goes to such lengths that they pick up anything lying about unguarded, and make off with it without a qualm of conscience as if it had come to them by law.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
