Number Retired

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or retired:

“My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“I am convinced that the best service a retired general can perform is to turn in his tongue along with his suit, and to mothball his opinions.”
