Long Tons

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or tons:

“White in the moon the long road lies,
The moon stands blank above;
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

“The moralist and the revolutionary are constantly undermining one another. Marx exploded a hundred tons of dynamite beneath the moralist position, and we are still living in the echo of that tremendous crash. But already, somewhere or other, the sappers are at work and fresh dynamite is being tamped in place to blow Marx at the moon. Then Marx, or somebody like him, will come back with yet more dynamite, and so the process continues, to an end we cannot foresee.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
