Star Spangled War

Famous quotes containing the words star, spangled and/or war:

    “The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    “The constellated sounds
    ran sprinkling on earth’s floor
    As the dark vault above
    with stars was spangled o’er.”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “Only in war are you holy, and when you are robbers and cruel.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
