Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    Man is clearly made to think. It is his whole dignity and his whole merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought. And the order of thought is to begin with ourselves, and with our Author and our end.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    I’m out of repair
    but you are tall in your battle dress
    and I must arrange for your journey.
    I was always a virgin,
    old and pitted.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
