Bombing of Dresden in World War II

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

    Did all of us feel interested in bombing buildings only when the men we slept with were urging us on?
    Jane Alpert (b. 1947)

    We mustn’t complain too much of being comedians—it’s an honourable profession. If only we could be good ones the world might gain at least a sense of style. We have failed—that’s all. We are bad comedians, we aren’t bad men.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    Then think I thus: sith such repair,
    So long time war of valiant men,
    Was all to win a lady fair,
    Shall I not learn to suffer then,
    And think my life well spent to be,
    Serving a worthier wight than she?
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
