Four years of world war, at a cost in human suffering which our minds are mercifully too limited to imagine, led to the very clear realization that international anarchy must be abandoned if civilization was to survive. Arthur Henderson
These doomsday warriors look no more like soldiers than the soldiers of the Second World War looked like conquistadors. The more expert they become the more they look like lab assistants in small colleges. Alistair Cooke
My wife was my greatest asset. I didn't marry her until after World War II, but she has complemented me in every job I've ever had. William Westmoreland
Barry Commoner quote: "The modern assault on the environment began about 50 years..."
The modern assault on the environment began about 50 years ago, during and immediately after World War II. Barry Commoner
No one is immune from the larger events of his or her time - the Depression, World War II, civil rights, Vietnam, the spring of 1989 in China. These events intrude upon our lives and radically affect our directions. Paul Tsongas
