Subjects

Famous quotes containing the word subjects:

“There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it—benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their “good” subjects and punishment to their “bad” ones, who are amused at the “cleverness” of children and annoyed by their “stupidities.””
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)

“Some subjects come up suddenly in our speech and cannot be silenced.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Such subjects are the very strength of kings, and are thus above the law.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
