"I think there’s a tremendous split between people who’ve been through a war and people who haven’t." ― Antonia Fraser Topic(s): War More From Antonia Fraser "My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women’s education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor." "I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women’s history." More In War "War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn’t surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet."― Alice Walker "There is an alternative to war. It has been with us forever."― Sargent Shriver "Another term for preventive war is aggressive war – starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition."― Ron Paul
