Famous quotes containing the word war:

    “[Veterans] feel disappointed, not about the 1914-1918 war but about this war. They liked that war, it was a nice war, a real war a regular war, a commenced war and an ended war. It was a war, and veterans like a war to be a war. They do.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
