Famous quotes containing the words beast and/or wars:
“Strange thing me seemd to see a beast so wyld,
So goodly wonne with her owne will beguyld.”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“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)
