Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or armies:

    “There are moments when, faced with our lack of success, I wonder whether we are failures, proud but impotent. One thing reassures me as to our value: the boredom that afflicts us. It is the hall-mark of quality in modern men.”
    —Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    “Would not some lightning flash of vision sear people’s consciousness into life again? What was the good of stopping the war if armies continued?”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
