Famous quotes containing the words war, plan and/or white:
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“Fix’d like a plan on his peculiar spot,
To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“That he is old, the more the pity, his white hairs do witness it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
