Simply Connected Lie

Famous quotes containing the words simply, connected and/or lie:

    The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin—and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    There is none who does not lie hourly in the respect he pays to false appearance.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
