Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or group:

    Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence, do I live alone.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.
    Simone Weil (1910–1943)
