Famous quotes containing the word war:

    “God grant we may not have a European war thrust upon us, and for such a stupid reason too, no I don’t mean stupid, but to have to go to war on account of tiresome Servia beggars belief.”
    —Mary (1867–1953)

    “... children do not take war seriously as war. War is soldiers and soldiers have not to be war but they have to be soldiers. Which is a nice thing.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Either war is obsolete or men are.”
    —R. Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983)
