Alleged War

Famous quotes containing the words alleged and/or war:

    Most observers of the French Revolution, especially the clever and noble ones, have explained it as a life-threatening and contagious illness. They have remained standing with the symptoms and have interpreted these in manifold and contrary ways. Some have regarded it as a merely local ill. The most ingenious opponents have pressed for castration. They well noticed that this alleged illness is nothing other than the crisis of beginning puberty.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
