Famous quotes containing the words british, dominion and/or forces:

    “You British plundered half the world for your own profit. Let’s not pass it off as the Age of Enlightenment.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “The kingdom of man over nature, which cometh not with observation,—a dominion such as now is beyond his dream of God,—he shall enter without more wonder than the blind man feels who is gradually restored to perfect sight.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If in the opinion of the Tsars authors were to be the servants of the state, in the opinion of the radical critics writers were to be the servants of the masses. The two lines of thought were bound to meet and join forces when at last, in our times, a new kind of regime the synthesis of a Hegelian triad, combined the idea of the masses with the idea of the state.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
