War Quotes
-
Certainly people are always very envious of me. When I join a new theater company, the other actors look down the program, see my Return of the Jedi credit and say, 'Oh, you were part of Star Wars.' I smile and say, 'Yes, but only for twenty-six and a half seconds.'
Caroline Blakiston
-
Yes, I did have to struggle very hard to get this the vote on the Iraq war through, but the reason I did it was because I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn't take this on myself... just because I thought, 'Let's give myself a really hard time for a couple of years!'
Tony Blair
-
Why should you take by force that from us that which you can have by Love? Why should you destroy us, who have provided you with food What can you get by war?
Chief Powhatan
-
War begets war. It produces outraged and humiliated and furious people. That is almost invariably the case.
Judith Butler

Harvey Fierstein

Benedict Arnold was a war hero, wounded in battle--before he turned against his country. Hitler was likewise a decorated and wounded veteran of the First World War. Being a war hero is not a lifetime...exemption...from responsibility for what you do thereafter.
Thomas Sowell

During World War II, the pilot losses were staggering. In some bombing raids, as many as 80% of the planes that left did not return.
Simon Sinek
-
If there were 10,000 U.S. forces ashore [in Lebanon], authorized to move about, there would be less risk to American lives than there is with an immobile force of 1,300.
George Will
-
Wars do not always begin with an abrupt, cymbal-crash rupture of conditions properly characterized as peace. There can be almost seamlessly incremental transitions.
George Will
-
On reflection, some things do super well because they hit with the time. Some things do super well because they are able to activate a kind of echo chamber or bandwagon or cascade - they didn't particularly hit with the time. Some things are just too astonishingly good to not hit the top. Those three explanations, with respect to the Star Wars phenomenon, seem to me all to pass the plausibility test, and to explore them, with respect to Star Wars, I think casts light not just on the saga of our time, but also on everything about our culture.
Cass Sunstein
-
We must move into the universe. Mankind must save itself. We must escape the danger of war and politics. We must become astronauts and go out into the universe and discover the God in ourselves.
Ray Bradbury
-
Sometimes peace looks like war, you cannot tell them apart.
Hilary Mantel
