Negative Solutions

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or solutions:

    “The idealist’s 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 (1864–1929)

    “Football strategy does not originate in a scrimmage: it is useless to expect solutions in a political compaign.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
