Alfred North Whitehead

Nobody can push me aside.

Nothing important has ever come out of San Francisco, Rice-a-Roni aside.
Michael O'Donoghue

Of course we have Queen Elizabeth as head of state, but in many ways we are a kind of republic. We don't have royals in Australia, so it was kind of unusual to run into those kind of people. But aside from that it was quite ordinary.
Mary Elizabeth Donaldson

Mary Douglas

Smith and Carlos aside, I object to using the Olympic awards stand to make a political statement.

The Jewish nation is indeed, the heart of the world and there is no reason for the existence of empires, kings, rulers, masses or systems aside from their reaction to the Jewish people.

The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
