Peace/monuments

Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or monuments:

“Lord Salisbury and myself have brought you back peace—but a peace I hope with honour.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

“If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
