Famous quotes containing the words military, merit and/or order:

    His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    Though learned, well-bred; and though well-bred, sincere;
    Modestly bold, and humanly severe:
    Who to a friend his faults can freely show,
    And gladly praise the merit of a foe?
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Franz now peddles racist newspapers. He is not against the Jews, but he is for law and order. For law and order must reign in Paradise; which everyone should recognize.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
