Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or solutions:
“The idealists programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the worlds problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldnt they be put to some use, after all?”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
