Famous quotes containing the words army and/or led:
“This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The path was a vague parting in the grass
That led us to a weathered windowsill.
We pressed our faces to the pane. “You see,” he said,
“Everything’s as she left it when she died....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
