Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    For I do not seek to understand in order to believe, but I believe in order to understand. For I believe this: unless I believe, I will not understand.
    Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109)

    The mother’s battle for her child—with sickness, with poverty, with war, with all the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life—needs to become a common human battle, waged in love and in the passion for survival.
    Adrienne Rich (20th century)
