Takes

Famous quotes containing the word takes:

“There is this to be said in favor of drinking, that it takes the drunkard first out of society, then out of the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Never in my life have I met anyone who did not agree that Emerson is an inspiring writer. One may not accept his thought in toto, but one comes away from a reading of him purified, so to say, and exalted. He takes you to the heights, he gives you wings. He is daring, very daring. In our day he would be muzzled, I am certain.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
