Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quotes
The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices.

I understand why war is not popular, but I also know this: The belief that peace is desirable is rarely enough to achieve it. Peace requires responsibility. Peace entails sacrifice.
