Bombing of Dresden in World War II

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

    “The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.”
    —Ivan Illich (b. 1926)

    “He never supposed divine
    Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
    Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
    And that if nothing was the truth, then all
    Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I thought that’s what this war was about. Making people pay taxes when they didn’t have no say so about it.”
    —Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)
