Greatly Reduced

Famous quotes containing the words greatly and/or reduced:

    Rightly to be great
    Is not to stir without great argument,
    But greatly to find quarrel in a straw
    When honor’s at the stake.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Drill and uniforms impose an architecture on the crowd. An army’s beautiful. But that’s not all; it panders to lower instincts than the aesthetic. The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
