Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or war:
“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“In war personal revenge maintains its silence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
