Orders

Famous quotes containing the word orders:

    Really, if the lower orders don’t set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
