War Graves

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or graves:

“... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard?”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

“She tells her love while half asleep
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
