Causes of World War II

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “What are the characteristics of today’s world so that one may recognize it by them?” It pays pensions and borrows money: credit and monuments.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Those who dare to interpret God’s will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another. War springs from the love and loyalty which should be offered to God being applied to some God substitute, one of the most dangerous being nationalism.
    Robert Runcie (b. 1921)
