Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“No one is to blame. It is neither their fault nor ours. It is the misfortune of being born when a whole world is dying.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“In time of war you know much more what children feel than in time of peace, not that children feel more but you have to know more about what they feel. In time of peace what children feel concerns the lives of children as children but in time of war there is a mingling there is not children’s lives and grown up lives there is just lives and so quite naturally you have to know what children feel.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
