We should’ve been different breeds. There can only be one lion in a small cage. It’s not important if the other lion is sleeping or crouching in the corner. The only important thing is that…it’s...

A guerra é a forma de Deus en­si­nar ge­o­grafia aos ame­ri­ca­nos.

To generalize about war is like generalizing about peace. Almost everything is true. Almost nothing is true. At its core, perhaps, war is just another name for death, and yet any soldier will tell you,...

Mangled heroes from both sides of the nameless conflict lay scattered in comical disregard. Valiant and dignified death poses embody a fiction found in the epic poems of minstrels and bards; fanciful reflections lacking merit...

You don’t get it, Clary. You don’t understand what it’s like to live always at war, to grow up with battle and sacrifice. I guess it’s not your fault. It’s just how you were brought...

Do you think it’s possible for an entire nation to be insane?

A ”just war” is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.

The symbolism seemed so apt. The same technology that can propel apocalyptic weapons from continent to continent would enable the first human voyage to another planet. It was a choice of fitting mythic power: to...

Januz feels glad to have her in his arms–his wife, who would do anything to protect their son. This is how she presents herself. Like a soldier who would kill for her country. And her...

science devises ever bloodier means of war until humanity’s powers of destruction overcome our powers of creation and our civilisation drives itself to extinction.

War made the state, and the state made war

… it would be better for our country and the world in general, if at least the few people who were capable of thought stood for reason and the love of peace instead of heading...

You know, it set you at war with yourself.

Hell in life indicates a state of suffering, of agony, of torture (by others, by circumstances, or by ourselves), and of insipid colors and little joy. Hell is a heavy vibration that drags us spiraling...

The military state is the final form to which every planned economy tends rapidly.

He even knew the reason why: because enough men had gone off to war saying the time for gardening was when the war was over; whereas there must be men to stay behind and keep...

Krieg ist eine bescheuerte Sache, doch trotzdem mussten wir ihn führen. Mussten. Fragt mich nicht, warum. Wir mussten.

Napoleon made war like I make love—from a height of about 68 centimeters. (I wear platform shoes while I’m on my knees)

Peace would always be less compelling than war. Perhaps that was why there was so little of it in the world. (p. 160)

How vast those Orbs must be, and how inconsiderable this Earth, the Theatre upon which all our mighty Designs, all our Navigations, and all our Wars are transacted, is when compared to them. A very...

It would be well to realize that the talk of ‘humane methods of warfare’, of the ‘rules of civilized warfare’, and all such homage to the finer sentiments of the race are hypocritical and unreal,...

Saddam’s politics was the politics of the thug, of violence from the outset of his reign. Realism suggests that some people are not going to be tractable in response to purely peaceable overtures. Indeed, it...

We came to realise – first with astonishment, then bitterness, and finally with indifference – that intellect apparently wasn’t the most important thing…not ideas, but the system; not freedom, but drill. We had joined up...
