Famous quotes containing the words racket and/or head:
“To dine, drink champagne, raise a racket and make speeches about the peoples consciousness, the peoples conscience, freedom and so forth while servants in tails are scurrying around your table, just like serfs, and out in the severe cold on the street await coachmenthis is the same as lying to the holy spirit.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (18641920)
