Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or bag:
“Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China’s 600 million people is that they are “poor and blank.” This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“Hitch your wagon to a star. Let us not fag in paltry works which serve our pot and bag alone.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
