Famous quotes containing the words world, war and/or summary:

    The bourgeois stands like a question mark,
    Speechless, like the hungry cur,
    The ancient world stands there behind him,
    A mongrel dog, afraid to stir.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    In peacetime, they had all been normal decent, cowards, frightened of their wives, trembling before their bosses, terrified at the passing of the years, but war had made them gallant. They had been greedy men. Now they were self-sacrificing. They had been selfish. Now they were generous. War isn’t hell at all. It’s man at his best, the highest morality he is capable of.
    Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
