Warring States

Famous quotes containing the words warring and/or states:

“For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)

“A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
