Famous quotes containing the words nations and/or times:

    Other nations use “force”; we Britons alone use “Might.”
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    In the twentieth century, death terrifies men less than the absence of real life. All these dead, mechanized, specialized actions, stealing a little bit of life a thousand times a day until the mind and body are exhausted, until that death which is not the end of life but the final saturation with absence.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
