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

    If there hadn’t been women we’d still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girl friends. And they tolerated it and let us go ahead and play with our toys.
    Orson Welles (1915–1984)

    I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    An April Sunday brings the snow
    Making the blossom on the plum trees green,
    Not white. An hour or two, and it will go.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
