Famous quotes containing the words partisan and/or forces:

    “The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Is there something in trade that dessicates and flattens out, that turns men into dried leaves at the age of forty? Certainly there is. It is not due to trade but to intensity of self- seeking, combined with narrowness of occupation.... Business has destroyed the very knowledge in us of all other natural forces except business.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
