Famous quotes containing the words national and/or register:

    “Perhaps our national ambition to standardize ourselves has behind it the notion that democracy means standardization. But standardization is the surest way to destroy the initiative, to benumb the creative impulse above all else essential to the vitality and growth of democratic ideals.”
    —Ida M. Tarbell (1857–1944)

    “Our fear that Communism might some day take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.”
    —Anonymous U.S. Analyst In 1967. Quoted in “The Uses of Anticommunism,” vol. 21, published in The Socialist Register (1985)
