Destroying

Famous quotes containing the word destroying:

    Ritual will always mean throwing away something: destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    The English are probably more capable than most peoples of making revolutionary change without bloodshed. In England, if anywhere, it would be possible to abolish poverty without destroying liberty.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Can we not teach children, even as we protect them from victimization, that for them to become victimizers constitutes the greatest peril of all, specifically the sacrifice—physical or psychological—of the well-being of other people? And that destroying the life or safety of other people, through teasing, bullying, hitting or otherwise, “putting them down,” is as destructive to themselves as to their victims.
    Lewis P. Lipsitt (20th century)
