This...is an age of specialization, and in such an age the repertory theater is an anachronism, a ludicrous anachronism.

Minnie Maddern Fiske

What should move us to action is human dignity: the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable.

Dominique de Menil

Dignity of position adds to dignity of character, as well as to dignity of carriage. Give us a proud position, and we are impelled to act up to it.

Christian Nestell Bovee

I call myself a gorgeous anachronism.

Jinkx Monsoon

When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. When you have your own school, you have dignity. When you have your own country, you have dignity.When you have something of your own, you have dignity. But whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. That's ignorance.

Malcolm X

The E.U., its institutions, structure and ways of working are an anachronism.

Priti Patel

Datelines are kind of an anachronism. It's a little bit of an affectation.

Andrew Rosenthal

George Bernard Shaw

Television's going, as far as I'm concerned, downhill, and I'm an anachronism.

Dick Van Dyke

Work is fundamental to the dignity of the person. Work, to use an image, 'anoints' with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God who has worked and still works, who always acts.

Pope Francis

You do a James Bond film, you're being part of an anachronism, a tradition.

Minnie Driver

The demand for absolute purity of genres is becoming nowadays an anachronism in literature.

Stanislaw Lem

That's all that counts. People being sorry. Makes you feel better; gives you a sense of dignity, and that's all that's important; a sense of dignity. And it doesn't matter if you don't care or not, either. You got to have a sense of dignity, even if you don't care, 'cause, if you don't have that, civilization's doomed.

Edward Albee

The real tragedy is that we're all human beings, and human beings have a sense of dignity. Any domination by one human over another leads to a loss of some part of his dignity. Is one's dignity that big it can be crumbled away like that?

Yusuf Idris

I hope people will remember me as one who did her best - and who wasn't an anachronism.

Margrethe II of Denmark

The Constitution contains no 'dignity' Clause, and even if it did, the government would be incapable of bestowing dignity. ... Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them. And those denied governmental benefits certainly do not lose their dignity because the government denies them those benefits.

Clarence Thomas
