Famous quotes containing the words day and/or battle:
“I watch the white stars darken;
the day comes and the
white stars dim
and lessen
and the lights fade in the city.”

“For WAR, consisteth not in Battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the Will to content by Battle is sufficiently known.... So the nature of War, consisteth not in actual fighting; but in the known disposition thereto, during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is PEACE.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
