Famous quotes containing the words love, peace and/or concert:

    Can I think of her as dead, and love her for the love she bore?
    No—she never loved me truly: love is love for evermore.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquility, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    Proportion ... You can’t help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn’t exist.... It’s like listening to a symphony of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way.... A concert of Brobdingnagian cats. Order has been turned into a disgusting chaos. We need no barbarians from outside; they’re on the premises, all the time.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
