Famous quotes containing the words washington and/or treaty:

    Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    There is between sleep and us something like a pact, a treaty with no secret clauses, and according to this convention it is agreed that, far from being a dangerous, bewitching force, sleep will become domesticated and serve as an instrument of our power to act. We surrender to sleep, but in the way that the master entrusts himself to the slave who serves him.
    Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
