Famous quotes containing the words world, war and/or production:

    “The woman may serve as a vehicle for the rapist expressing his rage against a world that gives him pain—because he is poor, or oppressed, or mad, or simply human. Then what of her? We have waded in the swamp of compassion for him long enough.”
    —Robin Morgan (b. 1941)

    “Once lead this people into war and they will forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
    —Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
