Famous quotes containing the words war and/or crimes:
“As a war in years of peace
Or in war an armistice
Or a father’s death, just so
Our parting was not visualized....”

“At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done to him. It is this above all that is sacred in every human being.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
