Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
