Famous quotes containing the words war and/or machine:

    I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.
    George Washington (1732–1799)

    The chrysanthemums’ astringent fragrance comes
    Each year to disguise the clanking mechanism
    Of machine within machine within machine.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
