Famous quotes containing the words system and/or level:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (19121989)
“Alls oblique;
Theres nothing level in our cursed natures
But direct villainy. Therefore be abhorred
All feasts, societies, and throngs of men!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
