Famous quotes containing the words order and/or succession:
“It seems only yesterday that we saw
The movie with the cows in it
And turned to one at your side, who burped
As morning saw a new garnet-and-pea-green order propose
Itself out of the endless bathos, like science-fiction lumps.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
