Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“Aunt,
there’s no such thing
as honest love
in the world of men.
If there were,
who’d separate?
And if separation ever came to be,
who could go on living?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“It is the women of Europe who pay the price while war rages, and it will be the women who will pay again when war has run its bloody course and Europe sinks down into the slough of poverty like a harried beast too spent to wage the fight. It will be the sonless mothers who will bend their shoulders to the plough and wield in age-palsied hands the reaphook.”
—Kate Richards O’Hare (1877–1948)
