Famous quotes containing the word mission:

    “Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
    —Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    “When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.”
    —Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson, Objective Burma, giving a subaltern a mission (1945)
