War Quotes

Douglas Hurd
-
This entire business of modern war crimes, as identified by the liberal wings of politics and the media, began in Iraq and has been running downhill ever since.
Marcus Luttrell
-
The bay-trees in our country are all withered,
And meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven.
The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth,
And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change.
Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap;
The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
The other to enjoy by rage and war.
These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.
William Shakespeare
-

Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
[However], the sufferer from depression has no option, and therefore finds himself, like a walking casualty of war, thrust into the most intolerable social and family situations.

He must try to utter small talk and be responsive to questions, and knowingly nod, and frown and, God help him, even smile.
William Styron

Peter Bergen

Kill Japs, kill Japs, kill more Japs!
William Halsey
-
I have long since thrown in the towel on the Democratic and Republican parties because they are really a front group for the 1%, for predatory banks, fossil fuel giants, and war profiteers.
Jill Stein
-
All the politics of the post-war period was about the clash between the Soviet Union and America, and virtually all issues ended up being subordinated to that. Now, the question is, what is the most a socialist can achieve in a global economy?
Ken Livingstone
-

Barack Obama
-
Historically, war journalists have embedded themselves with one side, which means the greatest threat comes from the clearly delineated enemy of that side.
Alan Huffman
-
Beside the staff of life, taken and fashioned from the heavy earth, beside our marriage, work, and war the free man, too, will live and grow towards the sun. Not the ripe fruit alone - blossom is lovely, too. Does blossom only serve the fruit, or does fruit only serve the blossom - who knows? But both are given to us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
-
We have to say yes to socialism - to the word and everything ... Medicare for all, ending student debt, a different approach to the war on terror, ending mass incarceration.
Jim Carrey
