Dark Alliance

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or alliance:

“Life is the lust of a lamp for the light that is dark till the dawn
of the day when we die.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)

“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
