Order

Famous quotes containing the word order:

    “We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons.... If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear’s work, that is its affair.... We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.”
    —Joseph Goebbels (1897–1945)

    “An example is often a deceptive mirror, and the order of destiny, so troubling to our thoughts, is not always found written in things past.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    “Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.”
    —Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
