Famous quotes containing the words original and/or members:

    “... in nine out of ten cases the original wish to write is the wish to make oneself felt ... [ellipsis in source] the non-essential writer never gets past that wish.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
