Chetniks/world War II

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

“Thus were we weaned to knowledge of the Will
That wills the natural world but wills us dead.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

“But, after the war was over, just think what came to pass—
A letter, sir; and the two were safe back in the old Bluegrass.
The lad had got across the border, riding Kentucky Belle;
And Kentuck she was thriving, and fat, and hearty, and well;
He cared for her, and kept her, nor touched her with whip or spur:
Ah! we’ve had many horses, but never a horse like her!”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
