Bombing of Hamburg in World War II

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

    There is a “sanctity” involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    If the world is a precipitation of human nature, so to speak, then the divine world is a sublimation of the same. Both occur in one act. No precipitation without sublimation. What goes lost there in agility, is won here.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
    Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
