Quote

Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

The power to wage war is the power to wage war successfully.

You come home when the war is won.

I'm a writer. I don't support any war. That's my principle.

I waged war against my feelings.

Unless one is inordinately fond of subordination, one is always at war.

I can't talk about foreign policy like anyone who's spent their life reading and learning foreign policy. But as a citizen in a democracy, it's very important that I participate in that.

I said in my heart that, rather than have war, I would give up my country.
