Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or power:
“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)
“O to be a dragon
a symbol of the power of Heaven—of silkworm
size or immense; at times invisible. Felicitous phenomenon!”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
