"The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people." ― Ezra Pound Topic(s): War More From Ezra Pound "And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there… Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will." "Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents." "Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art." More In War "When dad told me Mr Steptoe had passed away, I broke down."― Louise Brown "When I was growing up, it was ‘Communists’. Now it’s ‘Terrorists’. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything."― Cindy Sheehan "Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear."― Douglas MacArthur
