Bombing of Pforzheim in World War II

Famous quotes containing the words bombing, world and/or war:

    Did all of us feel interested in bombing buildings only when the men we slept with were urging us on?
    Jane Alpert (b. 1947)

    When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.
    Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)
