Famous quotes containing the words irregular and/or wars:
“The irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?
Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
