Trivial Theory

Famous quotes containing the words trivial and/or theory:

“Let a man take time enough for the most trivial deed, though it be but the paring of his nails.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
