Famous quotes containing the words beast and/or wars:
“Dialect words—those terrible marks of the beast to the truly genteel.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
