Famous quotes containing the words member of, member and/or parliament:

    In song and dance man expresses himself as a member of a higher community: he has forgotten how to walk and speak and is on the way toward flying up into the air, dancing.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The essence of man is, discontent, divine discontent; a sort of love without a beloved, the ache we feel in a member we no longer have.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
