Silent War

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or war:

    ‘Tis on the living Envy feeds. She silent grows
    When, after death, man’s honor is his guard.
    So I, when on the pyre consumed I lie,
    Shall live, for all that’s noblest will survive.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who don’t go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. It’s always so.
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
