Famous quotes containing the words failed, states and/or index:

    Peace can endure only so long as humanity really insists upon it, and is willing to work for it and sacrifice for it.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.
    Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
