Famous quotes containing the words final and/or operations:
“The final conflict will be between the Communists and the ex-Communists.”
—Ignazio Silone (1900–1978)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
