Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“If all the rich men in the world divided up their money amongst themselves, there wouldn’t be enough to go round.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
—Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jesse Hibbs. Walter Bedell Smith (Himself)
