Spanish Positions

Famous quotes containing the words spanish and/or positions:

“How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?”

“What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.”
—Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
