Famous quotes containing the word raises:
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
“What raises great poetry above all else—it is the entire person and also the entire world.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
