Famous quotes containing the words order of, order, battle and/or mobilization:

    “A. Well, an old order is a violent one.
    This proves nothing. Just one more truth, one more
    Element in the immense disorder of truths.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “A self is, by its very essence, a being with a past. One must look lengthwise backwards in the stream of time in order to see the self, or its shadow, now moving with the stream, now eddying in the currents from bank to bank of its channel, and now strenuously straining onwards in the pursuit of its chosen good.”
    —Josiah Royce (1855–1916)

    “Much have I seen and known—cities of men
    And manners, climates, councils, governments,
    Myself not least, but honored of them all—
    And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
    Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
    I am a part of all that I have met;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
