Economy Comfort

Famous quotes containing the words economy and/or comfort:

“War. Fighting. Men ... every man in the whole realm is in the army.... Every man in uniform ... An economy entirely geared to war ... but there is not much war ... hardly any fighting ... yet every man a soldier from birth till death ... Men ... all men for fighting ... but no war, no wars to fight ... what is it, what does it mean?””
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

“It is too great comfort which turns a man against himself. Life is most readily renounced at the time and among the classes where it is least harsh.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
