Famous quotes containing the words opposition and/or parties:
“It is useless to check the vain dunce who has caught the mania of scribbling, whether prose or poetry, canzonets or criticisms,let such a one go on till the disease exhausts itself. Opposition like water, thrown on burning oil, but increases the evil, because a person of weak judgment will seldom listen to reason, but become obstinate under reproof.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale 17881879, U.S. novelist, poet and womens magazine editor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 36-40 (December 1828)
“Remorseis Memoryawake
Her Parties all astir”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
