Famous quotes containing the words war and/or graves:
“The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
Its echo in my heart.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“What we now call “finance” is, I hold, an intellectual perversion of what began as warm human love.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
