Passos

Famous quotes containing the word passos:

    Vat is the use being a big man if you are wrong?
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    I dont think there is anything on earth more wonderful than those wistful incomplete friendships one makes now and then in an hour’s talk. You never see the people again, but the lingering sense of their presence in the world is like the glow of an unseen city at night—makes you feel the teemingness of it all.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
