Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “Although the stupid, unthinking world may approve what you have done, in your heart you know that, but for your treachery, the boy you loved would be alive today. If anyone is responsible for his death, you killed him, and for that murder you will live and die in the contempt and loathing of your own heart.”
    —Karl Brown (1897–1990)

    “As a war in years of peace
    Or in war an armistice
    Or a father’s death, just so
    Our parting was not visualized....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
