Famous quotes containing the words burma and/or army:

    If the Third World War is fought with nuclear weapons, the fourth will be fought with bows and arrows.
    Louis, 1st Earl Mountbatten Of Burma Mountbatten (1900–1979)

    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)
