Famous quotes containing the words turkish and/or army:

    A Turkish bath—that marble paradise of sherbert and sodomy.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Man is the end of nature; nothing so easily organizes itself in every part of the universe as he; no moss, no lichen is so easily born; and he takes along with him and puts out from himself the whole apparatus of society and condition extempore, as an army encamps in a desert, and where all was just now blowing sand, creates a white city in an hour, a government, a market, a place for feasting, for conversation, and for love.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
