Famous quotes containing the words world of, world, burning and/or crusade:

    “Orthodoxy is the Bourbon of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “One of the most significant effects of age-segregation in our society has been the isolation of children from the world of work. Whereas in the past children not only saw what their parents did for a living but even shared substantially in the task, many children nowadays have only a vague notion of the nature of the parent’s job, and have had little or no opportunity to observe the parent, or for that matter any other adult, when he is fully engaged in his work.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    “Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The crusade against Communism was even more imaginary than the spectre of Communism.”
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
