Destroyed

Famous quotes containing the word destroyed:

    “In the past, the English tried to impose a system wherever they went. They destroyed the nation’s culture and one of the by- products of their systemisation was that they destroyed their own folk culture.”
    —Martin Carthy (b. 1941)

    “It destroyed him and your mother, because he ventured into areas of knowledge where man is not meant to go.”
    —Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)

    “No, it wasn’t an accident, I didn’t say that. It was carefully planned, down to the tiniest mechanical and emotional detail. But it was a mistake. It was a beaut. In the end, somehow granted the time for examination, we shall find that our so-called civilization was gloriously destroyed by a handful of vacuum tubes and transistors. Probably faulty.”
    —John Paxton (1911–1985)
