Famous quotes containing the words war and/or independence:
“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)
“To drive men from independence to live on alms, is itself great cruelty.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
