Famous quotes containing the words chair, refugee and/or law:

    My chair was nearest to the fire
    In every company
    That talked of love or politics,
    Ere Time transfigured me.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The refugee uncertain at the door
    You make at home; deftly you steady
    The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.
    John Frederick Nims (b. 1913)

    There is all the difference in the world between the criminal’s avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedient’s taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
