Famous quotes containing the words positions and/or held:
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Victory comes late—
And is held low to freezing lips—
Too rapt with frost
To take it—”
