War Quotes (page 84)

I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. John Quincy Adams

If war is ever lawful, then peace is sometimes sinful. C. S. Lewis
Aristotle quote: "We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as..."
We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace. Aristotle
But I felt certain that if the world would stop indulging wars and famines and other perils, it would be possible for human beings to embarrass each other to death. Our self-destruction might take a little longer that way, but I believe it would be no less complete. John Irving
I have in this War a burning private grudge—which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its... J. R. R. Tolkien
It is a Bush administration official on the moment when torture breaks a victim: The job of the interrogator is to safely help the terrorist do his duty to Allah, so he then feels liberated to speak freely. From Neil Gaiman's account of a torturer in hell: We will hurt you. And we are not sorry. But we do not do it to punish you. We do it to redeem you. Because afterward, you'll be a better person ... and because we love you. One day you'll thank us for it. War is peace. Torture is freedom.... Andrew Sullivan
Khalil Gibran quote: "Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and..."
Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite. Khalil Gibran
We are all the walking wounded in a world that is a war zone. Everything we love will be taken from us, everything, last of all life itself. Yet everywhere I look, I find great beauty in this battlefield, and grace and the promise of joy. Dean Koontz
Shelby Foote quote: "Grant was something rare in that or any war. He could learn..."

For reasons that are not well understood, war's codes are safer for most of us than love's. David Foster Wallace
Ammon Hennacy quote: "A pacifist between wars is like a vegetarian between meals."
A pacifist between wars is like a vegetarian between meals. Ammon Hennacy
Frankly, our ancestors don't seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn't care about what would happen to the people who came after them. Suzanne Collins
Humanity cannot lift itself by its own bootstraps; there is no such thing as spontaneous generation; life does not come from crystals; poetry does not come from donkeys; international peace does not come from wars; social justice does not come from selfishness. With all our knowledge of chemistry we cannot make a human life in our laboratories because we lack the unifying, vivifying principal of a soul which comes only from God. Life is not a push from below; it is a gift from above. It is... Fulton J. Sheen
