Famous quotes containing the words war and/or record:
“Only in war are you holy, and when you are robbers and cruel.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilised form of autobiography.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
