Famous quotes containing the words war and/or era:
“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
