Side Chain Theory

Famous quotes containing the words side, chain and/or theory:

    I went to the circus, and loafed around the back side till the watchman went by, and then dived in under the tent. I had my twenty-dollar gold piece and some other money, but I reckoned I better save it.... I ain’t opposed to spending money on circuses, when there ain’t no other way, but there ain’t no use in wasting it on them.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Oh yes, that’s right. They chain up wild animals. That’s all I am, an animal.
    John Elder [Anthony Hinds], British screenwriter, and Terence Fisher. Leon (Oliver Reed)

    A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of gov’t as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by gov’t. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that gov’t exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.
    Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
