Famous quotes containing the words ignorant and/or armies:
“For he could coin, or counterfeit
New words, with little or no wit;
Words so debas’d and hard, no stone
Was hard enough to touch them on;
And when with hasty noise he spoke ‘em;
The ignorant for current took ‘em;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“Would not some lightning flash of vision sear people’s consciousness into life again? What was the good of stopping the war if armies continued?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
