War Begins

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or begins:

    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.

    Bible: Hebrew Psalm LV (l. LV, 21–22)

    and of my distrusting self
    white-doctor-who-breathed-for-him-all-night
    say it for two sons gone,
    say nightmare, say it loud
    panebreaking heartmadness:
    nightmare begins responsibility.
