| War does not determine who is right--only who is left. Bertrand Russell |
| More than an end to war, we need an end to the beginning of all wars. Franklin D. Roosevelt |
| If we do not speak of it, others will surely rewrite the script. Each of the bodybags, all of the mass graves will be reopened and their contents abracadabraed into a noble cause. George Swiers Vietnam Veteran |
| Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until they have rebelled they cannot become conscious. from 1984 George Orwell |
| Martyrdom was to me merely a tragic form of skepticism, an attempt to realize by fire what one has failed to do by faith. No man dies for what he knows to be true. Men die for what they want to be true, for what some terror in their hearts tell them is not true. from The Portrait of Mr. W.H. Oscar Wilde |
| If you are going through hell, keep going. Sir Winston Churchill |
| There is no excuse for war, none whatsoever, and whatevver the wrong which your natino might be doing mine--short of war--my natino would be in the wrong if it started a war so as to redress it. A murderer for instance is not allowed to plead that his victim was rich and oppressing him--so why should a nation be able to? wrongs have to be redressed by reason, not force. from The Once and Future King T.H. White |
| There was never a good war or a bad peace. Benjamin Franklin |
| It is good that war is so terrible, else we grow too fond of it. Robert E. Lee |
| War is not a victory or loss . . . people die. Maya Lin |
| You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. Jeannette Rankin |
| The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. General George Patton |
| The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history. Carl Rowan |
| The man who fights for his fellow-man is better than one who fights for himself. Clarence Darrow |
| Take what they have left behind and taught you with their dying. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes that you left behind. |
| If you don't understand killing people because they disagree with you, pray you never understand. Unknown |
| We hate some people because we do not know them and we do not know them because we hate them. Charles Caleb Colton |
