National Defense Academy

Famous quotes containing the words national, defense and/or academy:

    Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    The cliché organizes life; it expropriates people’s identity; it becomes ruler, defense lawyer, judge, and the law.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
