And, as I have said, it's made me think twice about the imagination. If the spirits aren't external, how astonishing the mediums become! Victor Hugo said of his voices that they were like his own mental powers multiplied by five.
James Merrill
At 26 I felt myself a victim rather than a victor in the realm of pictures.
Gloria Swanson
For the victor peace means the preservation of the position of power which he has secured. For the vanquished it means resigning himself to the position left to him.
Gustav Stresemann
I'm not sure exactly what Victor told Dr. Goldman, but I don't think he fully knew what was going on... I think he was really oblivious. I don't think he knew.
Kelli White
If one seeks to analyze experiences and reactions to the first postwar years, I hope one may say without being accused of bias that it is easier for the victor than for the vanquished to advocate peace.
Gustav Stresemann
In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.
Neville Chamberlain
It sounded good. It was a story that Victor Conte told me to use. I was contacted by Dr. Goldman, and that's how the story came about. And that was my first time ever meeting, or speaking, to Dr. Goldman.
Kelli White
Justice has nothing to do with victor nations and vanquished nations, but must be a moral standard that all the world's peoples can agree to. To seek this and to achieve it - that is true civilization.
Hideki Tojo
My roots and Victor's are jazz, basically, but these two young fellows that we have with us come out of rock bands. And they're tremendously exciting players.
Chico Hamilton
Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.
John Boyd Orr
The courtesy which most becomes a victor was denied to Germany for a long time.
Gustav Stresemann
The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he that gets the most out of life.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The victor belongs to the spoils.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.
Adolf Hitler
To the victor belong the responsibilities.
Al Bernstein
Victor and vanquished never unite in substantial agreement.
Tacitus
Victor Mature was a big man; he had a great swagger. I liked him and I knew we'd be good together on screen.
Esther Williams
Victor Saville was bad news because he wanted money just to do one big picture.
Mickey Spillane
Victor Young had been hired to write the score for the dances of The Ten Commandments but he became very ill. You were then hired to write the score. But at the same time you'd written The Man with the Golden Arm score.
Elmer Bernstein
