Lawrence North

Famous quotes containing the words lawrence and/or north:

    Of course in war all madnesses come out in a man, that is the fault of war not of a man or a nation.
    —Frieda Lawrence (1879–1956)

    In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.
    —Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
