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

    “Everything in the world can be changed, my dear Florestan, but the human being.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “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)

    “Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
