Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“It was a gift that he possessed alone:
To look the world directly in the face;
The face he did not see to be his own.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“When they are not at war they do a little hunting, but spend most of their time in idleness, sleeping and eating. The strongest and most warlike do nothing. They vegetate, while the care of hearth and home and fields is left to the women, the old and the weak. Strange inconsistency of temperament, which makes the same men lovers of sloth and haters of tranquility.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
