British Order

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or order:

    Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over—except when they are different.
    Nancy Banks-Smith, British columnist. Quoted in Guardian (London, July 21, 1988)

    Pleasure cannot be shared; like Pain, it can only be experienced or inflicted, and when we give pleasure to our Lovers or bestow Charity upon the Needy, we do so, not to gratify the object of our Benevolence, but only ourselves. For the Truth is that we are kind for the same reason as we are cruel, in order that we may enhance the sense of our own Power.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
