Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“I have none of the tenderer-than-thou
Collectivistic regimenting love
With which the modern world is being swept.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
