Adelbert von Chamisso Ordering a man to write a poem is like commanding a pregnant woman to give birth to a red-headed child. Carl Sandburg You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us. Malcolm Wallop What do I mean by concentration?
