Famous quotes containing the words virtue and/or system:
“To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem ... ridiculous.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
