Famous quotes containing the words wars, holiday and/or special:
“O how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes favours!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have,
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“A holiday is when you celebrate something thats all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now theres nothing left to celebrate but the dead.”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“The line that I am urging as todays conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
