Famous quotes containing the words war, crimes and/or act:

    “... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    “Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
