Emergency Portion

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or portion:

    War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    A man might well pray that he may not taboo or curse any portion of nature by being buried in it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
