Famous quotes containing the words order, battle and/or march:

    “The intellectual is a middle-class product; if he is not born into the class he must soon insert himself into it, in order to exist. He is the fine nervous flower of the bourgeoisie.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    “The thundering line of battle stands,
    And in the air Death moans and sings:
    But Day shall clasp him with strong hands,
    And Night shall fold him in soft wings.”
    —Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    “Averageness is a quality we must put up with. Men march toward civilization in column formation, and by the time the van has learned to admire the masters the rear is drawing reluctantly away from the totem pole.”
    —Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
