Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “For human nature, being more highly pitched, selved, and distinctive than anything in the world, can have been developed, evolved, condensed, from the vastness of the world not anyhow or by the working of common powers but only by one of finer or higher pitch and determination than itself.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
