Famous quotes containing the words forces and/or led:
“There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“In enterprise of martial kind,
When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind—
He found it less exciting.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
