Straight Line Bode

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or line:

    Formula of my happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
