Famous quotes containing the word battles:
“Fasten your hair with a golden pin,
And bind up every wandering tress;
I bade my heart build these poor rhymes:
It worked at them, day out, day in,
Building a sorrowful loveliness
Out of the battles of old times.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
