Famous quotes containing the words king, james and/or version:

    Do we call this the land of the free? What is it to be free from King George and continue the slaves of King Prejudice? What is it to be born free and not to live free? What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? Is it a freedom to be slaves, or a freedom to be free, of which we boast?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To be ‘conscious’ means not simply to be, but to be reported, known, to have awareness of one’s being added to that being.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
