Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or prize:
“All of us realize that war requires action. What is sometimes harder for us to realize is that peace and neutrality also require action.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love. In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
