Famous quotes containing the words powers, include and/or flight:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“At last now you can be
What the old cannot recall
And the young long for in dreams,
Yet still include them all.”
—Elizabeth Jennings (b. 1926)
“When the flight is not high the fall is not heavy.”
—Chinese proverb.
