Famous quotes containing the words long and/or war:

    “Over and over again, her own direct experience teaches a woman that when she does enough for herself, she feels better and better about her child. When she does too much for too long for her child, she feels harassed and drained. But over and over again, she lapses into doing too much.”
    —Roger Gould (20th century)

    “The man who fears war and squats opposing
    My words for stour, hath no blood of crimson
    But is fit only to rot in womanish peace”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
