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

    “It’s not greed and ambition that makes wars—it’s goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reasons, for liberation or manifest destiny, always against tyranny and always in the best interests of humanity. So far this war, we’ve managed to butcher some 10,000,000 people in the interest of humanity. The next war, it seems we’ll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.”
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    “Here lies interred in the eternity of the past, from whence there is no resurrection for the days—whatever there may be for the dust—the thirty-third year of an ill-spent life, which, after a lingering disease of many months sank into a lethargy, and expired, January 22d, 1821, A.D. leaving a successor inconsolable for the very loss which occasioned its existence.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
