Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “The world is all outside: it has no inside.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron,
    iron is iron till it is rust.
    There never was a war that was
    not inward; I must
    fight till I have conquered in myself what
    causes war, but I would not believe it.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
