Famous quotes containing the words term, extension and/or act:
“A radical is one of whom people say He goes too far. A conservative, on the other hand, is one who doesnt go far enough. Then there is the reactionary, one who doesnt go at all. All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term progressive. I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselvesone who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
“A dense undergrowth of extension cords sustains my upper world of lights, music, and machines of comfort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Think of those barren places where men gather
To act in the terrible name of rectitude,
Of acned shame, punks pride, muscle or turf,
The bullys thin superiority.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
