State Won

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or won:

“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)

“We are not won by arguments that we can analyse but by tone and temper, by the manner which is the man himself.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
