Famous quotes containing the words state and/or war:

    “Lead bullets flattened by human teeth have been found on the camp site. Soldiers who had been caught stealing food from nearby farms customarily chewed on a bullet as the lash was laid on their bare backs.”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Come Vitus, are we men, or are we children? Of what use are all these melodramatic gestures? You say your soul was killed, and that you have been dead all these years. And what of me? Did we not both die here in Marmaros fifteen years ago? Are we any the less victims of the war than those whose bodies were torn asunder? Are we not both the living dead?”
    —Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Hjalmar Poelzig (Boris Karloff)
