Famous quotes containing the word war:

    “What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It’s a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
