Fritz Joubert Duquesne/second World War

Famous quotes containing the words fritz, world and/or war:

    Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang’s feeble imagination.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don’t know what they are conserving.
    Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    I quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though I will still make use and get advantage of her as I can, as is usual in such cases.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
