Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“I want to love and be loved.... I don’t want a world without love or grief or beauty. I’d rather die.”
—Daniel Mainwaring (1902–1977)
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
