Famous quotes containing the words war and/or crimes:

    “War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “As you from crimes would pardoned be,
    Let your indulgence set me free.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
