Wilson Faced

Famous quotes containing the words wilson and/or faced:

    A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    In an extensive reading of recent books by psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and inspirationalists, I have discovered that they all suffer from one or more of these expression-complexes: italicizing, capitalizing, exclamation-pointing, multiple-interrogating, and itemizing. These are all forms of what the psychos themselves would call, if they faced their condition frankly, Rhetorical-Over-Compensation.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
