It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.

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.

War is the science of destruction.

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.

War is the greatest failure of mankind.

War is in the eyes.

War kills men, and men deplore the loss; but war also crushes bad principles and tyrants, and so saves societies.

Wars don't happen on battlefields; they go on happening in people's hearts for generations and generations, and the ecological damage is unfathomably complex and dire.

War is big business. It's a lot of money going to and fro, and unfortunately a lot of angst, and a lot of fear, and a lot of doubt. And eventually a lot of wonderful people, like soldiers, like men and women that are out there trying to do the best they can, they come back being wounded on many levels.

First of all, war is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, even on the good days.
