Famous quotes containing the words armed and/or groups:

    “For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The awareness of the all-surpassing importance of social groups is now general property in America.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
