Famous quotes containing the words tide and/or mill:
“As the tide crept, the land
burned with a lizard-blue
where the dark sea met the sand.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.... A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice—is often the means of their regeneration.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
