Famous quotes containing the words war and/or memorials:

    “We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “My titillations have no foot-notes
    And their memorials are the phrases
    Of idiosyncratic music.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
