Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “The life of man in this world is like the life of a fly in a room filled with 100 boys, each armed with a fly-swatter.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
