Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:
“Neatness begets order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to genius, or from love to friendship.”
—Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)
“There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
