Radical

Famous quotes containing the word radical:

    Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
