Famous quotes containing the words figures, dutch and/or resistance:
“The figures of the past go cloaked.
They walk in mist and rain and snow
And go, go slowly, but they go.”

“Too nice is neighbor’s fool.”
—Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.
“How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
