Great War Quotes

In the account book of the Great War the page recording the Russian losses has been ripped out. The figures are unknown. Five millions, or eight? We ourselves know not. All we know is that, at times, fighting the Russians, we had to remove the piles of enemy bodies from before our trenches, so as to get a clear field of fire against new waves of assault Picture Quote #1

We became convinced that, regardless of Stalin’s awful brutality and his reign of terror, he was a great war leader. Without Stalin, they never would have held Picture Quote #1

Until the last great war, a general expectation of material improvement was an idea peculiar to Western man. Now war and its aftermath have made economic and social progress a political imperative in every quarter of the globe Picture Quote #1

I am capable of what every other human is capable of. This is one of the great lessons of war and life Picture Quote #1

I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander Picture Quote #1

My father [Erwin Rommel] believed that Germany should have a great interest to leave the war with a peace under conditions Picture Quote #1

...The very nature of interstate war puts innocent civilians into great jeopardy, especially with modern technology Picture Quote #1

This is a war to end all wars Picture Quote #1

In the beginning of the Great War, the emotions of Europe ran riot in a most horrible manner, first among the so-called ‘living,’ and then among the killed when they awoke Picture Quote #1

I must return to my old comrades of the Great War - to the brown, the treeless, the flat and grave-set plain of Flanders - to the rolling, heat-miraged downlands of the Somme - for I am dead with them, and they live in me again Picture Quote #1

We are constantly trying to cope with what our fathers or our grandfathers did. I wrote the book ‘Great War of Civilization,’ and my father was a solider in the First World War which produced the current Middle East - not that he had much to do with that - but he fought in what he believed was the Great War for Civilization Picture Quote #1

And all this madness, all this rage, all this flaming death of our civilization and our hopes, has been brought about because a set of official gentlemen, living luxurious lives, mostly stupid, and all without imagination or heart, have chosen that it should occur rather than that any one of them should suffer some infinitesimal rebuff to his country`s pride Picture Quote #1

The Great War differed from all ancient wars in the immense power of the combatants and their fearful agencies of destruction, and from all modern wars in the utter ruthlessness with which it was fought Picture Quote #1

That’s kind of where all my money goes. I’m going to be a very broke girl with a really great wardrobe Picture Quote #1

You have a class of young strong men and women, and they want to give their lives to something. Advertising has these people chasing cars and clothes they don’t need. Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don’t really need. We don’t have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression Picture Quote #1

Being a powerful woman who also exhibits great warmth is an incredible feat because people think that to be powerful you have to be cold, and you don’t Picture Quote #1
