Havoc

Famous quotes containing the word havoc:

    The poor tread lightest on the earth. The higher our income, the more resources we control and the more havoc we wreak.
    Paul Harrison (b. 1936)

    When we run over libraries persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames; for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
