Famous quotes containing the word order:

    “In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.”
    —Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
