Violence/war

Famous quotes containing the words violence and/or war:

“Violence upon the roads: violence of horses;
Some few have handsome riders, are garlanded
On delicate sensitive ear or tossing mane,
But wearied running round and round in their courses
All break and vanish, and evil gathers head:
Herodias’ daughters have returned again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A war between Europeans is a civil war.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
