Human Empire Part

Famous quotes containing the words human, empire and/or part:

    The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.
    Richard Rorty (b. 1931)

    Ce corps qui s’appelait et qui s’appelle encore le saint empire romain n’était en aucune manière ni saint, ni romain, ni empire. This agglomeration which called itself and still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Maria: You should get out of these clothes immediately. You’ll catch your death of pneumonia, you will.
    Inspector Clouseau: Yes, yes, I probably will. But it’s all part of life’s rich pageantry.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
