Victory Claims

Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or claims:

    It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
