Famous quotes containing the words barbarian and/or invasion:

    “But we still remember ... above all, the cool, free aspect of the wild apple trees, generously proffering their fruit to us, though still green and crude,—the hard, round, glossy fruit, which, if not ripe, still was not poison, but New English too, brought hither, its ancestors, by ours once. These gentler trees imparted a half-civilized and twilight aspect to the otherwise barbarian land.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not the invasion of ideas.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
