Human Wishes

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or wishes:

“Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An army’s beautiful. But that’s not all; it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
