Smith Shot

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or shot:

    For men tied fast to the absolute, bled of their differences, drained of their dreams by authoritarian leeches until nothing but pulp is left, become a massive, sick Thing whose sheer weight is used ruthlessly by ambitious men. Here is the real enemy of the people: our own selves dehumanized into “the masses.” And where is the David who can slay this giant?
    —Lillian Smith (1897–1966)

    I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband.
    Thurgood Marshall (1908–1993)
