Famous quotes containing the word war:

    The war against Vietnam is only the ghastliest manifestation of what I’d call imperial provincialism, which afflicts America’s whole culture—aware only of its own history, insensible to everything which isn’t part of the local atmosphere.
    Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
