We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
Having seen war, you obviously learned to hate war.
We need to learn... how war brutalises and degrades winners and losers alike and what happens to us when, having heedlessly waged war for no good reason, we are encouraged to inflate and demonise our enemies in order to justify that war's indefinite continuance.
To contemplate war is to think about the most horrible of human experiences.
So much destruction in modern war takes place miles and miles away from the source of the destruction, the human being who has caused it.
War seems to be one of the most salutary phenomena for the culture of human nature; and it is not without regret that I see it disappearing more and more from the scene.
War is like love; it always finds a way.
It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.
There's nothing I don't know about war. The stench of it. But I say that without any pride. War is a terrible thing. My hope is that you'll get that through looking at one of my pictures.
That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together.
