Total War Dead

Famous quotes containing the words total, war and/or dead:

    The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    There are two things which will always be very difficult for a democratic nation: to start a war and to end it.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    The five kings count the dead but do not soften
    The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
    A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
    Hands have no tears to flow.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
