Famous quotes containing the words major, units and/or assigned:

    “That is my major preoccupation—memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.”
    —Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)

    “Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “Scholars who become politicians are usually assigned the comic role of having to be the good conscience of state policy.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
