The Second World War was a total war in the sense that every facet of the societies involved was geared toward&nbsp;the war effort. Fought in the air, seas, and on land, World War II was also a conflict of words. This collection of dramatic quotations showcases the most memorable and unusual lines&nbsp;to emerge from the most devastating&nbsp;conflict in human history.&nbsp;

War <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/warfare-stories-that-sound-fake-but-are-true/jim-rowley" target="_blank">drives people to extremes</a>. Occasionally, the people engaged in the war are able to verbalize their experiences so succinctly, so dramatically, that a novelist or poet could hardly say it better.

It gives a strange thrill when we&nbsp;see the actors on the stage of history doing justice to the import and drama of the very events they&#39;re making real, and doing so not in retrospect but as it happens.&nbsp;Here are some Civil War quotes that would be hard for anyone to improve upon.

Winston Churchill carried&nbsp;Britain through World War II. He inspired&nbsp;the public with his oratorical skills, and he took&nbsp;his political enemies down a peg with&nbsp;razor-sharp wit. Churchill used language to his advantage, relying on one-liners to accomplish previously unimagined feats.Although the former prime minister&nbsp;is known for his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/a-list-of-famous-winston-churchill-quotes/reference" target="_blank">famous quotes</a>, he has used the power of speech to burn quite a few innocent bystanders. In fact, Churchill seemed to poke fun at his peers&nbsp;indiscriminately. Even President&nbsp;Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn't spared. Perhaps, Britain's mouthpiece just verbally sparred with people to keep his wits sharp, though. Churchill was known to poke fun at&nbsp;himself on occasion.&nbsp;

Some of the most savage quotes from history come from people you may know. It&#39;s no secret that men like Teddy Roosevelt and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-george-s-patton-facts/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">Gen. George S. Patton</a> were willing to speak their minds. The origin&nbsp;of the&nbsp;laconic phrase, however, is derived from the pure terse nature of Spartan dialogue - resulting in some pretty savage&nbsp;quotes from other historical figures, as well.

When <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/26dvr6/most_badass_quotes_from_historical_figures/" target="_blank">Redditors offered</a> their favorite savage history quotes for consideration, it was a mix of lore, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tough-guy-movie-quotes/ranker-film" target="_blank">movie quotes</a>, and actual lines uttered by people from the past. Mostly made up of revolutionary and battlefield quotes, the phrases below may strike you as brave or defiant. They could very well offer some historical truth and validity. Regardless, which ones are you pretty glad entered historical consciousness at all?&nbsp;

The Dark World of Stephen King

Stephen King Works

The&nbsp;first lines in Stephen King books set the stage for the stories that follow. Over his long career, King has written opening sentences that are funny, informative, scary, and downright odd. But which one is&nbsp;the&nbsp;best? Is it the simple statement about&nbsp;the&nbsp;gunslinger following the man in black through the desert in The Gunslinger, the novel that begins his epic eight-novel fantasy cycle? Is it the more in-depth breakdown of the Boston Globe reporter's surroundings in The Colorado Kid? Is it the random gurgles and moans that kick off Misery? Or is it something else entirely? There's certainly not a shortage to chose from.&nbsp;Check out the list below to view every first sentence from King's novels and vote up your favorite ones!&nbsp;

War movies are full of <a href="http://ttp://www.ranker.com/list/saving-private-ryan-movie-quotes/" target="_blank">quotes</a> like Apocalypse Now&#39;s, &quot;I love the smell of napalm in the morning.&quot; But this is a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/dunkirk-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">Hollywood invention</a>. Real wars are chaotic, frenetic, and bewildering. In real life, getting shot at makes it difficult to rattle off a series of cool one-liners.&nbsp;

But not always! It turns out that real wars have actually produced many memorable short quotes. Some of these lines didn&#39;t just inspire the soldiers who heard them, but&nbsp;also inspired civilians for generations afterwards. Although, as is often the case with direct quotes from history, it&#39;s not always possible to know for certain who really said them. Either way, these savage quotes by real soldiers wouldn&#39;t be out of place in a screenplay.&nbsp;&nbsp;

You may not realize just how many times one character insulted another in&nbsp;The Lord of the Rings&nbsp;films, but it happened often. Granted, there are a few from the books that didn&#39;t make it to the movies, but there&#39;s&nbsp;a few of those included in here anyway,&nbsp;seeing as they are pure gold.
