Territory Received Present

Famous quotes containing the words territory, received and/or present:

    When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

    I want to ask You if it stands to reason
    That women prophets should be burned as witches,
    Whereas men prophets are received with honor.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I fear ... that both dictators [Hitler and Mussolini] think their present methods are succeeding because of the gains they have made in Albania, Hungary and Yugoslavia.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
