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

    My mother learned that she was carrying me at about the same time the Second World War was declared; with the family talent for magic realism, she once told me she had been to the doctor’s on the very day.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    So the first it is written,
    will be the twisted or the tortured individuals,
    out of line, out of step with world so-called progress.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
    Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm LV (l. LV, 21–22)

    I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
