Restoration Society

Famous quotes containing the words restoration and/or society:

“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)

“A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
