Famous quotes containing the words national and/or system:

    “[D]rilling and arming, when carried on on a national scale, excite whole populations to frenzies which end in war.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “In a universe that is all gradations of matter, from gross to fine to finer, so that we end up with everything we are composed of in a lattice, a grid, a mesh, a mist, where particles or movements so small we cannot observe them are held in a strict and accurate web, that is nevertheless nonexistent to the eyes we use for ordinary living—in this system of fine and finer, where then is the substance of a thought?”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
