Kordofan University Quotes & Sayings

For war to man, like childbirth to women, is simplifying in its emotions and activities. All the real problems of life can be put aside while the one thing is done and little thought is needed to do it ... His hatreds can be expressed without censure, he can let his emotions run free, he can behave as dramatically, as heroically as he likes, and no one laughs at him.

The real problem of consumption and disposal are nothing like what children are led to suspect. — Josephine Humphreys
