... the public and the private worlds are inseparably connected ... the tyrannies and servilities of the one are the tyrannies and servilities of the other.

Virginia Woolf

Only tyrannies understand the power of art.

Ronald Harwood

Of all the tyrannies on human kind the worst is that which persecutes the mind.

John Dryden

Women are only half responsible for children. Men raise children as much as women do. Until men are as nurturing as women are, and until women are as active outside the home as men are, we won't have democratic families, and therefore we won't have democracy, and we will continue this hierarchical notion of life.

Gloria Steinem

Of all the tyrannies which have usurped power over humanity, few have been able to enslave the mind and body as imperiously as drug addiction.

Freda Adler

Tyrannies not only want to control your mind and thoughts but your flesh as well.

Ma Jian

The most insupportable of tyrannies is that of inferiors.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Imprisonment in the contemporary is the worst of all intellectual tyrannies.

Weston La Barre

Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.

Thomas Paine

Of all tyrannies a country can suffer, the worst is the tyranny of the majority.

William Inge

Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.

Emile M. Cioran

By my monastic life and vows I am saying no to all the concentration camps, the aerial bombardments, the staged political trials, the judicial murders, the racial injustices, the economic tyrannies, and the whole socioeconomic apparatus which seems geared for nothing but global destruction in spite of all its fair words in favor of peace.

Thomas Merton

The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.

Thomas Paine

The end of despots is always odd?exhilarating to those who suffered their tyrannies, and to those who hold despotism in contempt, and anti-climatic at the same time, the discovery that these tyrants were petty, frightened men after all.

Fouad Ajami

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.

Thomas Paine

In this statement, my Scipio, I build on your own admirable definition, that there can be no community, properly so called, unless it be regulated by a combination of rights. And by this definition it appears that a multitude of men may be just as tyrannical as a single despot and indeed this is the most odious of all tyrannies, since no monster can be more barbarous than the mob, which assumes the name and mask of the people.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
