Famous quotes containing the words army and/or detachment:
“I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow. Here immigration is a tide which may ebb when it has swept away the pines; there it is not a tide, but an inundation, and roads and other improvements come steadily rushing after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
