Famous quotes containing the words variant and/or accounts:

    ““I am willing to die for my country” is a variant of “I am willing to kill for my country.””
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “We must love one another, yes, yes, that’s all true enough, but nothing says we have to like each other. It may be the very recognition of all men as our brothers that accounts for the sibling rivalry, and even enmity, we have toward so many of them.”
    —Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
