Famous quotes containing the words national, labor and/or students:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nations history.”
—Walter Lippmann (18891974)
“His Labor is a Chant
His Idlenessa Tune
Oh, for a Bees experience
Of Clovers, and of Noon!”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like theyre killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. Wed not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
