Quote

The disasters of war can be infinitely eerie and poignant.

The loss of liberty which must attend being a wife was of all things the most horrible to my imagination.

Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.

The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst.

Only in a popular war against France... do I see a misfortune.

World history is tragic.

Let it be remembered, too, that at a time of war, nearly every one is under great strain.

I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.

War is tragedy. The great war stories are tragedies. It's the failure of diplomacy. 'War and Peace,' 'A Farewell to Arms,' 'For Whom the Bell Tolls.' Those are some of the greatest tragedies.

That war has brought with it a truly incredible development of means of destruction and a terrifying prospect of rapid and almost limitless development in that direction.
