Famous quotes containing the words war and/or organization:
“Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother’s nature.

—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
