War Crimes

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or crimes:

    ... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    O liberty! O liberty! What crimes are committed in thy name!
    Madame Roland [Marie-Jeanne Philipo (1754–1793)
