Defined Arms

Famous quotes containing the words defined and/or arms:

    An act of God was defined as “something which no reasonable man could have expected.”
    —A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)

    In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
