Famous quotes containing the words aggressive and/or war:
“When parents fail to set appropriate limits, children may feel more vulnerable at night: the aggressive urges that have not been tamed by day may be terrifying to a small child alone in the dark.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“There is the guilt all soldiers feel for having broken the taboo against killing, a guilt as old as war itself. Add to this the soldiers sense of shame for having fought in actions that resulted, indirectly or directly, in the deaths of civilians. Then pile on top of that an attitude of social opprobrium, an attitude that made the fighting man feel personally morally responsible for the war, and you get your proverbial walking time bomb.”
—Philip Caputo (b. 1941)
