Ideas are the great warriors of the world, and a war that has no idea behind it, is simply a brutality.

Killing is the payoff of war.

Killing people because you don't like their ideas - it's a bad thing.

War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.

For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.

The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing, singing, drinking, dancing, making love, holding the streets, picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.

Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.

Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt.

War: a massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who know each other but don't massacre each other.
