Famous quotes containing the word worst:
“The worst readers are those who behave like plundering soldiers: they take away a few things they can use, soil and jumble what remains, and slander the whole.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“For most Northerners, Texas is the home of real men. The cowboys, the rednecks, the outspoken self-made right-wing millionaires strike us as either the best or worst examples of American manliness.... The ideal is not an illusion nor is it contemptible, no matter what damage it may have done. Many people who scorn it in conversation want to submit to it in bed. Those who believe machismo reeks of violence alone choose to forget it once stood for honor as well.”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
“A man’s worst enemies are those
Of his own house & family;
And he who makes his law a curse,
By his own law shall surely die.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
