Famous quotes containing the words war i, world and/or war:

    “The war is utter damn nonsense—a vast cancer fed by lies and self seeking [sic] malignity on the part of those who don’t do the fighting.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
    The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
    The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
    And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
    Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
    And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
    Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
    And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    “It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him.”
    —Baudouin I (b. 1930)
