Peace Treaties

Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or treaties:

“To many men ... the miasma of peace seems more suffocating than the bracing air of war.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)

“There can be no reconciliation where there is no open warfare. There must be a battle, a brave boisterous battle, with pennants waving and cannon roaring, before there can be peaceful treaties and enthusiastic shaking of hands.”
—Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1837–1915)
