Rhetorical Situations

Famous quotes containing the words rhetorical and/or situations:

    Whoever inquires about our childhood wants to know something about our soul.

    To get into just those situations where sham virtues will not suffice, but rather where, as with the ropedancer on his rope, one either falls or stands—or gets down.
