Famous quotes containing the words potential, host and/or communities:
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star.

—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
“A host is like a general: calamities often reveal his genius.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (658 B.C.)
“... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose.”
