Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    For, the experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
