Released March

Famous quotes containing the words released and/or march:

    Justice has its anger, my lord Bishop, and the wrath of justice is an element of progress. Whatever else may be said of it, the French Revolution was the greatest step forward by mankind since the coming of Christ. It was unfinished, I agree, but still it was sublime. It released the untapped springs of society; it softened hearts, appeased, tranquilized, enlightened, and set flowing through the world the tides of civilization. It was good. The French Revolution was the anointing of humanity.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    What if there’s nothing up there at the top?
    Where are the captains that govern mankind?
    What tears down a tree that has nothing within it?
    A blast of wind, O a marching wind,
    March wind, and any old tune,
    March march and how does it run.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
