Famous quotes containing the words return to, return, peacetime and/or operations:

    I hate that word. It’s return—a return to the millions of people who’ve never forgiven me for deserting the screen.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    ... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    The man who gets drunk in peacetime is a coward. The man who gets drunk in wartime goes on being a coward.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
