Million Children

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or children:

    Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.
    Storm Jameson (1891–1986)

    The children despise their parents until the age of 40, when they suddenly become just like them—thus preserving the system.
    Quentin Crewe (20th century)
