Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. Knowledge ceases to be an end in itself, it loses its Use-value.
    Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    No battle is worth fighting except the last one.
    J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)
