Famous quotes containing the words conflict and/or rome:

    “We are not naïve enough to ask for pure men; we ask merely for men whose impurity does not conflict with the obligations of their job.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

    “History is not a book, arbitrarily divided into chapters, or a drama chopped into separate acts: it has flowed forward. Rome is a continuity, called “eternal.” What has accumulated in this place acts on everyone, day and night, like an extra climate.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
