Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“Even in the scorched and frozen world of the dead after the
holocaust
The wheel as it turns goes on accreting ornaments.”
—Robert Pinsky (b. 1940)
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
