Wars of The Diadochi/the Struggle of Lysimachus and Seleucus 285-281 BC

Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or struggle:

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press. Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
