Famous quotes containing the words security and/or features:

    “In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine.”
    —J. William Fulbright (b. 1905)

    “All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
