Famous quotes containing the words important and/or defense:
“Its very good for an idea to be commonplace. The important thing is that a new idea should develop out of what is already there so that it soon becomes an old acquaintance. Old acquaintances arent by any means always welcome, but at least one cant be mistaken as to who or what they are.”
—Penelope Fitzgerald (b. 1916)
“The cliché organizes life; it expropriates peoples identity; it becomes ruler, defense lawyer, judge, and the law.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
