Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:

    “The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
    —Howard Brenton (b. 1942)

    “Attainment and science, retainment and art—the two couples keep to themselves, but when they do meet, nothing else in the world matters.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    “Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
