Famous quotes containing the words empire and/or wars:
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”

“I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
