Homefront - World War II

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

“I did not live until this time
Crown’d my felicity,
When I could say without a crime,
I am not thine, but Thee.

This carcase breath’d, and walkt, and slept,
So that the World believ’d
There was a soul the motions kept;
But they were all deceiv’d.”
—Katherine Philips (1631–1664)

“The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.”
—Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)
