Notable quotes

“The eighteenth century was seized by a rage for order, manifest in a range of new phenomena: the price tag, standardised weights and measures, the proliferation of signposts on public highways, the increased use of account books and calendars.”
— Henry Hitchings, Dr Johnson's Dictionary: The Book that Defined the World, first edition 2005, 2006 paperback edition, page 46 (ISBN 0719566320).
“…[O]rder can be restored by returning to [the moral compass of] conscience. Let’s hope this will really happen in the Tai Ji Men case.”
— Massimo Introvigne, "How to Live Together in Peace: From Father Damien of Molokai to Tai Ji Men", Bitter Winter (May 2022)
“When man works to restore order, he associates himself with the author of order; he is favoured by nature, that is to say, by the ensemble of secondary forces that are the agents of the Divinity. His action partakes of the divine; it becomes both gentle and imperious, forcing nothing yet not resisted by anything. His arrangements restore health.”
— Joseph de Maistre, Considerations on France (1796), ch. X
“Order can only exist where liberty prevails.”
— Lucy Parsons, The Principles of Anarchism, lecture printed without date of publication sometime in the 1890s
“Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the State.”
— Robert Southey, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 440.
“Order did not want to be born; chaos wasn’t ready to die.”
— Harry Turtledove, The Grapple (2006), , p. 353
