Famous quotes containing the words group, breaking and/or benjamin:

    Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.
    Simone Weil (1910–1943)

    The winter owl banked just in time to pass
    And save herself from breaking window glass.
