Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    “True art tries not to attract attention—in order to be noticed.”
    —José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    “Up from the South at break of day,
    Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
    The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
    Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
    The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
    Telling the battle was on once more,
    And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
    —Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
