Ancient Wars

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or wars:

    The mouth of the drowned dog. After long rain the land
    Was sodden as the bed of an ancient lake,
    Treed with iron and birdless.
    Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
