Haj Amin Al-husseini/activities After World War II

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

    Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.
    Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)

    The world is a funny paper read backwards. And that way it isn’t so funny.
    Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
