Famous quotes containing the words word and/or order:

    “A word does not frighten the man who, in acting, feels no fear.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    “Put shortly, these are the two views, then. One, that man is intrinsically good, spoilt by circumstance; and the other that he is intrinsically limited, but disciplined by order and tradition to something fairly decent. To the one party man’s nature is like a well, to the other like a bucket. The view which regards him like a well, a reservoir full of possibilities, I call the romantic; the one which regards him as a very finite and fixed creature, I call the classical.”
    —Thomas Ernest Hulme (1883–1917)
