There is nothing glamorous or romantic about war. It's mostly about random pointless death and misery.

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

War stories deal in death. War illuminates love, while love is the greatest expression of hope, without which any story rings untrue to life. And to deny hope in a story about such darkness is to create false art.

I think 'Make love, not war' might be the most profound statement that's ever been made.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

Americans, particularly after World War II, tended to romanticize war because in World War II our cause was the cause of humanity, and our soldiers brought home glory and victory, and thank God that they did. But it led us to romanticize it to some extent.

War is hell. Hollywood fantasizes about it and makes it look good... war sucks.

War is not the answer, because only love can conquer hate.
