Famous quotes containing the words age and/or rules:

    “Let nothing be called natural
    In an age of bloody confusion,
    Ordered disorder, planned caprice,
    And dehumanized humanity, lest all things
    Be held unalterable!”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    “The new grammar of race is constructed in a way that George Orwell would have appreciated, because its rules make some ideas impossible to express—unless, of course, one wants to be called a racist.”
    —Stephen Carter (b. 1954)
