Famous quotes containing the words page and/or victor:

    “It is difficult to read. The page is dark.
    Yet he knows what it is that he expects.
    The page is blank or a frame without a glass
    Or a glass that is empty when he looks.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “... in any war a victory means another war, and yet another, until some day inevitably the tides turn, and the victor is the vanquished, and the circle reverses itself, but remains nevertheless a circle.”
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
