Build

Famous quotes containing the word build:

    I build only living stones—men.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    Maybe we were the blind mechanics of disaster, but you don’t pin the guilt on the scientists that easily. You might as well pin it on M motherhood.... Every man who ever worked on this thing told you what would happen. The scientists signed petition after petition, but nobody listened. There was a choice. It was build the bombs and use them, or risk that the United States and the Soviet Union and the rest of us would find some way to go on living.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)

    But we must build our walls, for what we are
    Necessitates it, and we must construct
    The ship to navigate behind them, there.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
