Destroyed

Famous quotes containing the word destroyed:

    Laughter not time destroyed my voice
    And put that crack in it,
    And when the moon’s pot-bellied
    I get a laughing fit....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We rail at trade, but the historian of the world will see that it was the principle of liberty; that it settled America, and destroyed feudalism, and made peace and keeps peace; that it will abolish slavery.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.
    Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
