Quotes by Walter H. Page

After trying in vain to get work to do on any newspaper in North Carolina, I advertised for a job in journalism - any sort of a job... I knew nothing about newspaper work. I had done nothing since I left the University but teach English in the Louisville, Kentucky, High School for boys one winter and lecture at the summer school at Chapel Hill one summer.

Will they all have to fight and many of them die-to untangle this network of treaties and alliances and to blow off huge debts with gunpowder so that the world may start again?
