Famous quotes containing the word anarchy:

    It’s the anarchy of poverty
    delights me, the old
    yellow wooden house indented
    among the new brick tenements
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
